Description
Manor House, now a house, was built around 1710. It is constructed of red and blue brick in English bond, with a tiled roof. The main part of the house is a two-story, central square block of double pile plan, with a service extension added in 1732 and a wing built around 1931, set back and extending to the rear.
The main facade has five bays, arranged symmetrically. It features flush red brick quoins and a projecting brick band in three courses. The central entrance has a half-glazed door reached by three steps, with a two-light overlight and a flat canopy with a panelled soffit supported by metal brackets. The windows are twelve-paned sashes with segmental heads and boxes flush with the brickwork. The front elevation has moulded brick eaves, dentilled at the sides and rear. Three-paned dormers with hipped roofs are present at the front, with two at the rear. A 20th-century wing has paned windows with top lights and matching dentilled brick eaves. The rear elevation has been re-windowed in the 20th century. The service wing is single-story with a bay added to the rear. The roof is hipped, with a central valley.
Inside, there are some original fielded panelled doors and two original fireplaces. A mid-18th century staircase runs through the hall from the ground floor to the attic, featuring turned balusters and square newels, although its introduction may be later.
