Description
The Manor House, built in the 18th century, is designed in the American Colonial style. It has two storeys and attics, with a tiled front that was once painted. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, featuring three dormers with 19th-century gables. There is an eaves cornice and three sash windows with intact glazing bars. A modern glass verandah is located on the ground floor in front of the house, along with a conservatory at the north end.
