Description

Old Manor House is a detached house dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, which incorporates earlier materials. The building features banded brick and flint, with monolithic, round-headed niches of unknown origin. It has tiled roofs with stone copings at the ends. There are arcaded brick stacks at both ends and partway along the ridge on the right side. The house is two storeys high and has a four-window range. The windows are two-light timber casements with glazing bars, set under segmental brick heads. There is a blocked central shaped stone doorway, and a 20th-century part-glazed door is located to the left of center.
