A Brief History The Manor House is a charming character property dating back to the early 18th Century. The original Manor House, owned by the Duke of Manchester was burnt down and rebuilt on the current site using stone and brick which now forms part of the Manor.

The current owners have recently completed extensive remodelling and modernisation of the property which has been sympathetically done.
