Description
The Manor House is a mid-17th century house, with later additions and alterations, partly divided into flats. It is constructed of brick with plain tiled roofs and has an L-shaped layout. The north wing, which faces the road, has three sash windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor, all with glazing bars. The courtyard front now accommodates four dwellings, with 20th century doorways and porches. There are two sash windows with glazing bars to the ground floor and three casements to the first floor. A gabled roof features ridge stacks at intervals. A Diocletian window is present on the first floor of the north section. A 17th century house, originally aligned east-west, sits to the right. A large, external stepped stack is present.
The south front was remodelled in the early 18th century and is two storeys with a dormer attic. The right side of the front consists of four bays defined by rusticated quoins and includes a half-glazed panelled door within a timber doorcase with a moulded segmental pediment supported on console brackets. Sash windows with glazing bars are set within exposed frames. A three-bay section to the left has French doors and a casement replacing original ground floor sashes. A moulded brick string course is visible. The first floor windows mirror those below. A heavy timber eaves cornice runs across the entire facade below a gabled roof, which contains four hipped dormers, two with 18th century casements.
Inside, the kitchen retains a bridging beam with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The roof of this range has tie beams, collars, two tiers of clasped purlins, and wind bracing. Ties and collars have been cut to accommodate attic flats and dormers.
