Description
The Manor House is an early to mid 18th century building featuring a two-storey and basement roughcast front that conceals an earlier structure. It has a steep slate roof with coved eaves. The facade is four plus one windows wide, with sash windows that have wide glazing bars and timber surrounds set in segmental arched recesses on the first floor. The ground floor windows are adorned with moulded architraves. At the center of the front, there is an open pedimented doorpiece with architraves and curved brackets, leading to a recessed four-panel door. To the right on the first floor, there is a later window above the yard entrance, which has boarded doors.
Inside, the house retains a 19th century dog-legged staircase with wave moulded banisters.
