The Manor

The Manor is a detached house dating from the mid-18th century. It features a front made of reader bond brick, with Flemish bond brick on the sides, and has a tiled roof with brick stacks. The building is two stories high and has a symmetrical five-bay front. The central door has six fielded panels and is set in a moulded case topped with a shell hood supported by enriched brackets. On either side of the door are two 12-pane sash windows with flat arches. The first floor has four 12-pane sashes, including a central segmental-headed sash, all of which are flush but have been renewed. The house also has distinctive lead rainwater heads with a lion's face and a dentilled brick eaves cornice.

On the right side of the house, there is a half-glazed central door, with two sashes to the left and one to the right, and a 20th-century glazed conservatory attached to the ground floor. The first floor has three sashes and an external stack. The left side features a 20th-century flat-roofed extension on the ground floor, one sash on the first floor, and an external stack to the left. At the rear, there is a central half-glazed door with a flat wooden hood on enriched brackets, flanked by two sashes, and lozenge diaper brickwork between the ground and first floor. The first floor has five sashes, with original flush sashes in moulded cases.

The interior has been refitted several times in the 20th century, but the newel stairs with a ramped handrail and two turned balusters per tread, along with moulded architraves and doors with six fielded panels, are likely original features. There are reused enriched cornices with pulvinated friezes on the doors, and reset 18th-century fielded panelling with fluted pilasters and a wooden cornice in the drawing room. The house has 20th-century brick walls with square piers and ball finials attached to the sides of the front and rear walls. Extensive renovations, including re-roofing, were underway at the time of the survey in February 1985. The Manor was occupied by Anthony Eden, Lord Avon, during the last years of his life, and his grave is located in the nearby churchyard.
