Description
The Manor House is a house that dates from the 16th century to the early 19th century. It is timber framed and covered with red brick and render, topped with a roof that is both tiled and slated. The building has two storeys and features a hipped roof, with two hipped dormers on the left side and chimney stacks on the left and in the center. The roof rises to the right over a 19th-century extension, which has two glazing bar sash windows on each floor. The earlier part of the house on the left has five wooden casement windows on the first floor and three on the ground floor, along with a boarded half-door in an outshot to the left. There is a rear wing that has a plinth and a plat band, and it features a half-hipped roof. Inside, the rear wing has a clasped purlin roof, and the main range shows a visible frame, although the roof has been renewed. This building was formerly a manor house, as noted by Hasted.
