Description

The Manor House, formerly known as Old Manor House, is a house dating from around 1673, with some 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of red brick and features plain tile and pantile roofs, with brick coped and tumbled gables. The building has a rectangular plan with a low range extending to the north, set back to the right of the main front.

The house is two storeys tall with a garret and has a five-bay front that includes a plinth and a first-floor band. The central doorway has a segmental head and a plank door, flanked by two round-headed windows with wooden cross mullion casements. Above, there are five windows with wooden cross mullion casements. The plinth and first-floor band extend across the gable end and south front, as well as the gable end of the low northeastern range.

On the east gable end of the main block, there is a window with a segmental head and a wooden cross mullion casement, with a similar window above for the garret. The south front of the northeastern range features a doorway to the left with a segmental head and a panel door. The east gable end of the lower range has a three-light sliding sash window, with a two-light sliding sash above, both with segmental heads. There is a clean break in the brick bonding with the range to the north, which includes a three-light sliding sash to the left, a segmental head, and two blocked openings with segmental heads to the right, with a single two-light sliding sash above to the left.

Inside, there is a 17th-century oak staircase that is five feet wide, leading up to a long landing. The staircase features boxed-in tread ends, two turned bannisters for each tread, a moulded handrail, and a newel with a ball finial. The ceilings are beamed, and there are two large brick fireplaces. A small sitting room upstairs has the names Robert Fox and Jane Hardy inscribed, along with the date 1673 and a lover's knot, both of which are recorded in the 17th-century parish register under marriages.
