Description

Nos 6 and 10, known as The Manor House, is a manor house, originally built around 1629 and further developed in 1669, with later alterations. It is now divided into two separate dwellings. The construction combines close studded timber framing on a sandstone plinth, and features a plain tile roof with two brick ridge stacks. The building's layout follows a T-plan, comprising a main hall and a cross wing.

The south elevation, with two bays, has close-studded timbering on the ground floor, accompanied by diagonal braces rising from the floor plate. The first floor exhibits diagonal studding with a central rail. A central doorway is framed by moulded wood and topped with a four-centred arch, leading to a plank door. Flanking the doorway are two two-light Yorkshire sashes, with two similar, smaller windows positioned above.

The east elevation, spanning four bays, includes a projecting gabled bay to the left, which features a four-light mullioned and transomed bracketed wooden oriel. Above this is a three-light casement. A two-light Yorkshire sash is located to the right, and again above. A gabled timber-framed dormer appears in the return wall to the right, now blind. Three bays to the right are partly underbuilt in brick, incorporating a C20 glazed door, a flat-roofed entrance bay, and a three-light casement. Three two-light casements are positioned above, together with three small C20 gabled roof dormers.

The north gable end has a timber-framed lean-to over a sandstone basement, containing vaulted ovens.

The west elevation exhibits a projecting gabled bay to the right, faced in painted brick on the first floor and above. It contains three-light Yorkshire sashes, one under a segment head. A projecting two-storey gabled porch boasts a four-centred arched entrance, paired with a two-light casement above. To the left is a C19 brick range which is not of special interest, and further left, a three-storey gabled bay was raised in the 19th century with painted brick above the ground floor. Three-light Yorkshire sashes are present on each floor, the upper two with segment heads.

The interior includes a cellar with stud partitions and stop-chamfered beams. Further stop-chamfered beams are consistent throughout the building, alongside inglenook fireplaces and three four-centred arched fireplaces. The roof structure is a braced single purlin design.
