Description
Manor House is an early 18th-century building constructed from coursed squared ironstone, featuring a 20th-century plain-tile roof with ornamental ridge tiles and brick end stacks. The house has a two-unit plan with a central staircase and stands two storeys tall with an attic, presenting a five-window range to the main front facing the street. This façade includes two-light leaded casement windows on both the ground and first floors, one of which retains original small crown glass panes. The central first-floor window is blocked, and the window to the left is a dummy. All windows have flat-arched heads, with those on the ground floor adorned with raised key blocks. The exterior is detailed with a chartered plinth, quoins, a storey band, and stone-coped gables with kneelers, while the right gable features two horizontal keyed oval windows. A central door at the rear is six-panelled, part-glazed, and has a straight hood supported by brackets. To the right, there is a one-storey-and-attic wing that is set back, and to the rear right of the main structure.
Inside, the building showcases ogee-stop-chamfered spine beams and an open fireplace in the kitchen with a stop-chamfered bressumer. There is another large open fireplace, partly blocked, with chamfered stone jambs and a stop-chamfered bressumer, along with two large bolection-moulded stone fireplaces featuring moulded stone mantels. A dog-leg staircase connects the ground floor to the attic.
