Description
The Old Manor is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is built of random rubble with rendered end pilasters and has a hipped slate roof with rendered end stacks. The building features a symmetrical frontage, standing two storeys tall with three bays. It has 12-pane sash windows, with the ground floor windows including marginal lights and stepped voussoirs. The central door opening contains a six-panelled door and is framed by a stone portico that has a flat entablature and a moulded cornice supported by two Tuscan columns, with pilasters on the wall.
Inside, the house retains many original features, including a staircase and six-panelled doors. The name "Old Manor" does not appear to have any known historical significance.
