Description

The Manor House is a manor house dated 1598 on the central stack, which has been altered and extended. It is constructed of rubble stone with a concrete tiled roof. The building features a large central stone side stack with a pebble-dash top, a brick stack to the east, and a gable with a square shaft on the front extension. The house is two storeys high with an attic.

The northwest front has a gabled bay to the left, which includes glazed double doors on the ground floor and a 2-light wooden casement window above. There is one casement window in the main wing with a stack to the right, while the ground floor and bay to the right of the stack are obscured by a later lean-to and a 20th-century gabled porch that has a 2-light casement to the left and a 19th-century canted bay window to the right. A 20th-century extension to the southeast is a single storey with barred 3 and 4-light casements.

The garden front features three dormers and five bays of irregular sash windows, with one 2-light casement to the left, double glazed doors in a modern bay window at the centre, and an entry in the second bay from the right. Inside, there is an inglenook with herringbone tiles at the back, stop-chamfered beams, and the upper flight of the staircase has early 17th-century pierced balusters.
