Description
The Manor House is a detached house dating from the late 17th century, constructed from dressed limestone with a tiled roof and a brick stack. It has a T-shaped plan and is two storeys high with three windows. The entrance features a door with six fielded panels and a flat wooden hood supported by brackets, located to the right of centre. To the right of the door is a restored three-light ovolo-mullioned casement window, and to the left is a 16-pane sash window. The first floor has a moulded string course and includes a four-light, a three-light, and a two-light ovolo-mullioned casement.
To the left, there is a service block that has a 20th-century glazed door, a three-light ovolo-mullioned casement on the ground floor, and two 20th-century two-light ovolo-mullioned casements on the first floor, with the eaves raised in the 19th century. The right return features a 12-pane sash window on both the ground and first floors, with a coped verge. At the rear, there is a truncated external stack on the left, and on the right, a 20th-century lean-to porch with an ovolo-mullioned casement and a glazed door, while the first floor has a two-light ovolo-mullioned casement. The rear wing has a two-span roof and was partly rebuilt in the 1980s, featuring French windows and restored ovolo-mullioned casements, with flint on the first floor. The left return has a blocked doorway.
The interior was extensively remodelled in the 1980s but retains some original features, including chamfered beams with ogee stops, two open fireplaces with timber lintels on stone jambs, and a reset stone Tudor-arched fireplace on the first floor.
