Description

Manor house, dating to circa 1740, and subsequently expanded with substantial early and mid-19th century additions and 19th and 20th century alterations, now serving as a day centre for the elderly. The building is constructed of brick with stone and moulded brick detailing, featuring stone slate and Welsh slate roofs, as well as brick stacks. It is a double-depth block, comprising an 18th-century front range, a parallel mid-19th century range to the rear, and a service wing to the right.

The 18th-century front range is symmetrical, with five bays and a slightly projecting central bay. It has an offset stone plinth, a projecting stone band at first-floor level, and a crowning eaves cornice in moulded brick with close-set modillions. Chamfered stone quoins are at the outer corners, with bright red brick quoins on the corners of the central projection. The central entrance has a stone doorcase with an eared architrave, an entablature with a pulvinated frieze and pediment, and a raised keyblock above the recessed eight-panel door (the lower four panels fielded, the upper four infilled with later leadlight glazing). Ground-floor windows on either side of the door are plain 19th-century sashes in original openings with bright red, rubbed brick flat arches, key blocks, jambs, and projecting stone sills. First-floor windows are sashes with glazing bars (3x4 panes), with the central sash framed by stone architraves and a projecting sill supported by bracket blocks carved with guttae. The side sashes have bright red brick flat arches, key blocks, jambs, and projecting stone sills. There are three attic dormers with pedimental gables, each containing casements with glazing bars (4x3 panes). Gable-end stacks and a rear stack are present, with frieze bands and cornices on the left hand and rear stacks, while the right hand stack has a removed cornice.

Internally, the room to the left of the central entrance hall retains its original 18th-century moulded plaster cornice; other rooms have been refitted in the 19th century. The building originally served as the manor house of the Bubb family estate.
