The Manor House

House. Dating from the 16th century, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of red brick, rendered and colourwashed, with a slate roof and two yellow brick ridge stacks. It follows a cross passage plan. The front is two stories and irregular in shape, with seven bays. Features include a plinth, a double string course on the first floor, and an intermittent eaves band. A central two-story porch, dating to the 19th century, is a prominent feature. The central doorway has a 16th-century stone surround with a quirked, sunk wave moulding, flanked by 19th-century Doric columns in antis and a cornice. The outer doorway is four-centred and of moulded brick. To the left of the porch are glazing bar sash windows, with one on the ground floor. To the right is a glazing bar sash with a pediment above and to the left. Further along is a three-light sliding sash window and a planked 19th-century door. Six glazing bar sashes are on the first floor. A detached pediment rises above the string course on the left-hand gable. The rear elevation has a central porch, extended in the 20th century to the right. It incorporates a four-centred archway with a chamfered square surround. The sides of the porch have four-centred blank arches of moulded brick. The inner doorway is 19th century, but the original 16th-century splayed reveal is visible to the right. To the left is a likely original opening with a stepped reveal and pediment, and beyond is a further smaller pedimented opening. The double string course continues across the rear elevation, and the end bays project slightly, each with its own roof.

Inside, the left-hand end room features a fine 16th-century ceiling with a moulded and dentilated beam with jewelled and strapwork ends. The joists are concave moulded with fish scale decoration and shield-shaped stops. Above a rear window is a panel with ornate strapwork decoration. In the hall, a deeply carved timber corbel supports a post and beam with chamfered stops. To the right, the room has splayed and shield-shaped stops to joists and beams. The roof is complete, of clasped purlin construction, featuring large rafters, ridge and collar beams, and through purlins with numbered principals.
