Description
Little Manor is a house from the early 19th century, featuring roughcast walls, end pilasters, a cornice, and a parapet with plain coping. The roof is made of pantiles with coped verges and has two brick stacks at the ends. The building is symmetrical, with two storeys and three bays. The first floor has 12-light sash windows, while the ground floor has 20th-century 6-light metal sash windows, each with stepped voussoirs above. The central door is set in a semi-circular headed stone surround with prominent imposts and a keystone, featuring a 4-panelled door where the top two panels are glazed, along with a fanlight that has glazing bars. There is a single-storey wing to the left that is not of interest. The forecourt is enclosed by plain wrought iron railings on a low rubble plinth, with a dressed cap on each end and on either side of the central wrought iron gate. A section of rubble wall extends to the west.
