Description

The Manor House is a house built in the early 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of brick with blue headers and has a plain tile roof. The original building is a five-bay, two-span structure that had early 19th-century wings added to each side. In the mid-20th century, these wings were demolished and replaced by two-bay single-storey wings, and the main house was given a mansard roof.

The front of the house has two storeys and an attic, featuring five bays. There is a central six-panel door set within a 20th-century 'Queen Anne' style doorcase, which includes an architrave with a key block and moulded consoles that support a shell hood. On either side of the door, there are two 12-pane flush framed sash windows with cambered gauged brick arches made of blue bricks. A string course at the ground floor level is also made of blue headers. The first floor has five 12-pane flush framed sash windows with segmental gauged brick arches. At each end of the house, there are corner pilasters. The mansard roof is adorned with five two-light rounded-roofed dormers and features symmetrical stacks.

The 20th-century single-storey wings include a vertically set bullseye window, flanked by two 12-pane sash windows, and have hipped roofs. Each wing projects forward at the ends, terminating in a wall that ends in a pier, with a square niche that has a rubbed brick head.
