Description
Manor House, previously listed as The Old Vicarage, is a manor house dating from around 1700. It is constructed from Doulting rubble with dressed quoins and features an eaves cornice and a slate mansard roof that rises to a central brick stack. The building has a square plan and a symmetrical facade, consisting of two storeys and five bays. The windows are two-light, ovolo moulded stone mullioned, except for a late 19th-century shop front with a fascia and dentilled cornice located to the right of the central door. The door opening has an edge roll moulded architrave and a late 19th-century, two-panelled door, with an oval moulded stone opening above it. There is a moulded stringcourse over the ground floor windows. The left side of the building has two blocked doorways and three blocked mullioned casements. Inside, the house features a fine dogleg staircase with splat balusters and a moulded handrail.
