Description

The Manor House, originally known as The Vicarage or Old Prebendal Manor, is a building that dates back to 1896, featuring a tower and turret from around 1480, with later alterations. The structure is made of pinkish-orange narrow brick for the tower and turret, while the main house is constructed from red brick with ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. It has a T-shaped plan and consists of two storeys with four bays; the fourth bay is occupied by a three-storey square tower and a five-stage turret that tapers from a square base to an octagonal top.

The Gothic-style tower includes a massive angle buttress on the left and an angle buttress with offsets to three-quarter height on the right. The entrance is off-centre, featuring a late 20th-century glazed door with an overlight. To the right of the entrance is a 20th-century casement window, all beneath a beam and a 20th-century hood. The first floor has a lancet window and a pair of lancets, while the second floor features another pair of lancet windows. There is a single lancet on the first floor and a pair on the second, along with a projecting stack.

At the rear of the tower is a stair turret with slit windows at each stage, and the upper stage projects slightly with a Lombard frieze. The house primarily has pairs of unequally-hung three-pane sash windows with ashlar sills and pointed lintels on the ground floor. Two upper windows break the cogged eaves band, and there is a group of four cylindrical ridge stacks.

Inside, the dogleg staircase features turned balusters and Gothic newel posts. The doors have decorative panelling, and there are some Gothic fireplaces. Notably, the ground floor tower window contains stained glass dated 1696. The stair to the turret has a brick newel and triplets of brick arches that fan out under each step.
