Description
Manor Cottage is a house that was formerly part of the Manor House. It features a rendered exterior and a slate roof. The building has two and one and a half storeys, divided into three sections that are immediately adjoining. The left section has a raking half-dormer above a large square light, both of which are made from 20th-century plastic, along with a plank door leading to a slated hood. The middle section has a higher roof and a hipped right end, with a 20th-century plastic window. To the right, there is a set-back, two-storey extension that is also from the 20th century. Between the first two sections, there is a large chimney stack. The interior has not been inspected. The cottage is included for its group value with the Manor House.
