The Manor House is a small red-brick country house dating from 1673 with some 20th-century alterations and additions, and is Grade II* listed.[5] The gate piers to the Manor House are Grade II listed and also date from 1673, although the wrought iron gates are 20th-century.[6]

The village public house is the 17th-century Royal Oak locally referred to as 'The Splash' due to the 200 metres (660 ft) long ford that runs adjacent to the premises.[7] Kenwick Park Golf Club lies to the north of the village.
