Description
The Manor House is a small country house or manor house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of rubble and features a double Roman tiled roof behind a coped parapet, along with rubble stacks. The building has two storeys and attics, which are highlighted by 19th-century hipped dormers. It consists of three bays plus an additional bay in a gabled, projecting cross wing to the right. The windows are glazing bar sash windows with Gothick glazing, and the first-floor windows have pointed heads. The outer bays are designed as two-storey segmental bows. A central gabled porch with overhanging bracketed eaves leads to a 20th-century door set within a moulded ashlar surround that has an ogee head.
