Description

No. 7 High Street is a house that was formerly the main block of the Manor House. It dates from the early to mid-18th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century and a rear wing added in the late 18th century. The ground floor is constructed of coursed rubble, while the upper storeys are made of narrow hand-made bricks that have been painted white. The similar brick wing also features a ridged concrete roof with rebuilt brick chimney stacks.

The building is designed in an L-shape, with the main block having a gabled wing at right angles on the left rear. The three-storey main block, accessed from the wing, has bands between the storeys and blocked original openings. Each storey now contains two openings: an early 19th-century canted bay window on the right side of the ground floor and a small diamond-shaped opening, which may have been a former closet window, to the right of the canted bay. The other windows feature 16-pane sashes with projecting sills. A projecting brick course runs along the eaves, and the steeply-pitched roof has transverse end stacks.

The two-storey, two-bay wing includes a three-panel door beneath a segmental arch, with two 16-pane sashes above it, and a steeply-pitched roof that has a large square end stack. There is also a single-storey, two-bay extension at the rear of the wing, which has altered openings and a steep roof. The gables feature tumbled-in brickwork. A tall and narrow gabled stair wing is present, with margined sashes, along with an added two-storey outshut at the rear of the main block that contains 16-pane sashes.

Inside, there is a cut-string dogleg staircase with four flights and a landing rail, featuring two turned balusters per tread and a ramped square-sectioned handrail. The interior also includes fielded six-panel doors with I-L hinges set in wood architraves.
