Description

Manor House is a mid-18th century house constructed of red and vitreous brick, featuring red brick quoins and window surrounds. The building has a moulded plinth, an eaves-line band course, and a parapet with tile coping. It has an old tile roof that is slightly Mansard in style, with triangular stone-coped gables and flanking brick chimneys. The house is two storeys tall with an attic and consists of five bays. It has 3-pane sash windows with thick glazing bars, architrave frames, moulded sills, and gauged brick heads, although the ground floor sashes have been renewed. The attic features hipped dormers with paired leaded casements.

The central entrance is an 8-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight, set within a wooden doorcase that includes a panelled frieze, a flat wooden hood supported by shaped brackets, and panelled Doric pilasters. To the left, there is a single-storey brick extension from the 19th to 20th century with a hipped slate roof. A lower wing at right angles to the rear is likely older but has been altered and extended.

Inside, the house boasts a good interior with 18th-century panelling in the main ground and first-floor rooms. The lower rooms feature 19th-century marble fireplaces, while the upper rooms retain original wooden fireplaces and 19th-century grates. The upper left room includes two closets with doors and fanlights. The central hall contains an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and carved tread ends, and the attic stair also features turned balusters along with panelled cupboards and a bulkhead.
