Description
Manor House is a detached house from the 18th and 19th centuries, built of red brick in Flemish bond on a lias stone plinth, with Ham stone dressings. It features a Welsh slate Mansard roof between stopped coped gables, topped with a ball finial at the north-west end, and has rendered brick chimney stacks. The building has two storeys with attics, comprising one bay on the lower level and three bays above, with the north-west bay being a 19th-century matching addition that has a lower roof. There is a Ham stone eaves course, and the house has 12-pane sash windows in plain surrounds with gauged brick flat heads and painted keystones, although the glazing bars have been removed from the lower windows. The pitched roofed dormers contain casement windows with ornate bargeboards on the main bays. The lower bay 1 features a pair of fully glazed doors, which are protected by an open stone portico supported by Tuscan columns and pilasters, complete with a full entablature. There are extensions at the rear on the north-west corner. The interior has not been seen. This house was owned by James Hyde, who died in 1832 and purchased the title of Lord of Aller without any lands, naming his residence Manor House.
