Description
The Manor House, now divided into a house and flats, dates from the early 17th century and was remodelled and extended in the 18th century, around 1800, and in the early 19th century. It features stucco walls and a combination of old plain-tile and Welsh-slate roofs with brick stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high with attics. The main front has four windows, showcasing Gothic glazing bars, stucco label moulds, and a crenellated parapet. The first-floor windows are sashes, while the ground floor has casements. The doorway, located to the left of centre, is framed by a crenellated porch with a four-centre arched entrance. The hipped roof has a parapet that returns to the right, creating a pediment over an arched first-floor window. To the left, there is a three-storey service wing with a hipped roof, built around 1800, which now contains three flats. The parallel rear range, likely from the early 19th century, has a shallow-pitched hipped slate roof and a symmetrical three-window layout with 12-pane sashes on the first floor. A doorway in a trellis porch is flanked by canted bay windows. Inside, the room to the left of the entrance features intersecting heavy ovolo-moulded beams and a fireplace with a chamfered segmental stole arch. The front courtyard is partially enclosed by a 19th-century brick wall with iron railings and gates, and includes a gas lamp on one of the gateposts.
