Description

The Manor House is a long building located on Galmington Road, featuring a gabled wing that projects forward on the left and a second gable on the right. It is likely mostly from the 19th century but retains parts of an older structure at the rear. The house has two storeys with a front that is rendered and roughcast, topped with an old pantile roof and bargeboards. There is a stringcourse with diagonal bricks on the left wing, which also has a blocked 3-light mullioned window on the first floor and a blocked arched doorway with a keystone and impost capitals below. The right gable features a large 3-light window, while the centre of the building has three windows with wood casements and glazing bars, along with a central doorway.
