Description

The Manor House is a building converted into offices, dating from around the mid-18th century. It is constructed of stuccoed, rendered, and painted stone rubble, topped with a rag slate roof featuring hipped ends and brick end stacks. At the rear, there is a lower two-storey range with a slate roof and gable ends, also with a brick end stack. The overall layout is 'L' shaped, with a central entrance leading into a wide entrance hall. A staircase projects slightly to the rear of the hall, with a small reception room on the left and a larger reception room on the right, both heated by end stacks. The kitchen is located in the wing behind the left-hand room, with an additional service range beyond, added in a later 18th-century extension, which is also heated by an end stack. In the mid-20th century, the right-hand room served as the magistrates' courts.

The exterior features two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical five-window front and a flat banded string course above the ground floor. The central entrance is adorned with a pediment supported by console brackets, leading to a late 18th-century panelled door and fanlight above. There are two 12-pane sash windows on either side of the entrance, with the second sash featuring mid-18th-century thick glazing bars, while the other sashes are likely from the 19th century. On the first floor, five 12-pane sashes are present, with the second window from the left probably dating to the early 20th century, and the others likely from the mid-18th century with thick glazing bars. The attic includes two full hipped dormers with 19th-century two-light casements.

Inside, the entrance hall has a cornice that is likely from the 19th century. The mid-18th-century chinoiserie open well staircase features a moulded and ramped rail, illuminated by a mid-18th-century sash window on the rear elevation. The right-hand room has a mid-18th-century moulded cornice and china cupboards, with the chimney-piece probably dating from the 19th century. A partition has been added across this room to create two separate spaces. The first floor is not accessible.
