Description
The Manor House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features box timber framing on a stone plinth, with painted brick nogging and brick with brick dressings. The roof is covered in plain tiles and includes a large stone ridge stack, topped by four circular stone pots on the west side, and an enormous stepped external stone stack on the east gable wall, which has a brick extension.
The house has two storeys plus garrets and includes a two-bay east wing with an advanced single bay crosswing. The north elevation displays a 4-light leaded casement window in the western crosswing and a similar window to the east of the east range. Between these is a large two-storey brick bay with a bowed front, featuring a 20th-century 5-light leaded casement window in the bowed end and a panelled door with a bracketed hood over on the east side. Above this bay are similar windows arranged in the same way. To the west, there is a jettied gable on carved timber brackets with a blocked window at the top. To the east, projecting from the roof over the later brick bay is an advanced gabled timber frame bay, likely the former porch, and further east is a gabled roof dormer with leaded lights on top and box framing below.
The south elevation shows the crosswing rebuilt in brick, with the ground floor obscured by 20th-century brick extensions. Inside, the house retains virtually all its original exposed timber frame and features chamfered ceiling beams. The south room of the crosswing has 17th-century panelling, a carved fireplace, and an overmantle dated 1670, along with a panelled corner that is possibly re-used. There is an original dogleg staircase spanning three floors, featuring shaped splat balusters and moulded finials. The west rooms of the crosswing include stone fireplaces with four-centred arches, one of which on the first floor has carved spandrels.
