Description
The Manor House is a detached house dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations and an addition made around 1880. It is constructed from limestone and flint, topped with a tiled roof featuring coped verges and saddlestones, along with diagonally-set brick stacks. Originally designed as a symmetrical lobby entry house, it now has an L-shaped plan with a late 19th-century wing on the left.
The house is two stories high with an attic and has a five-window front. The entrance is to the left, set within a two-story gabled porch from the 19th century, which features a four-light mullioned and transomed window with a hood mould to the left. To the right are two 17th-century four-light mullioned and transomed windows, also with hood moulds. On the first floor, there is one four-light mullioned and transomed window on either side of a cross window from the 17th century, all equipped with relieving arches and hood moulds. To the left, there is a four-light mullioned and transomed window and a six-light chamfered mullioned window from the 19th century. The two attic gabled dormers on the 17th-century section have two-light chamfered-mullioned windows with hood moulds.
The right return features a 20th-century door and window on the ground floor, along with a three-light mullioned window in the attic. The left return has two 19th-century glazed doors, a cross window, a five-light mullioned and transomed window, and 20th-century French windows. On the first floor, there are two-light mullioned windows to the right, a five-light window in the center, and a sash window to the left. The rear of the 17th-century range includes 19th-century French windows and a brick bay window with 12-pane sashes on the first floor. The 19th-century wing has 20th-century 12-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors.
Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase with an octagonal newel, 18th-century doors with fielded panels and moulded architraves, and a segmental-headed fireplace with a classical overmantel on the first floor. The features in the 19th-century range include a fireplace with a wheat-ear surround in the ground floor drawing room.
