The Manor House And Adjoining Terrace

The Manor House and adjoining terrace is a manor house dating to 1625, with alterations and additions in the 20th century. It incorporates part of a 16th-century manor house. The building is constructed of brick and timber framing, with plain tile roofs and ashlar dressings. It features chamfered brick and rubble plinths, moulded brick first floor and eaves bands, shouldered coped gables, and single side wall and gable stacks. The house is two storeys plus a basement and attics, arranged in a two-by-two bay L-plan configuration.

The windows are mainly 20th-century metal-framed, leaded mullioned casements in chamfered reveals. Attic windows have moulded hoods. The south front has a buttressed wing to the right; in the return angle is a chamfered doorcase with an elliptical head, flanked by single casements. Above this are two mullioned casements to the left and two smaller square casements to the right. Further above the left side are gabled dormers with casements. The west gable has a single casement on each floor. The east front features four blank round-headed openings, to the left of which is a chamfered doorway with an elliptical head and three casements to the right. Above that are a small square casement and four casements, followed by a 20th-century ashlar doorcase and then three casements. Two dormers, each with a casement, are above again.

The north side has a parapeted mid-20th-century addition with two casements, followed by two casements of different sizes. Above, there are two off-centre casements flanked by a single square casement. The northeast corner displays a jowled bay post, arch brace, cambered tie beam, and stud wall.

The interior features a basement with a chamfered fireplace bressummer and a stone dogleg stair. Much of the timber upper stages were rebuilt in 1950 and 1980. The south wing contains a room with relocated 17th-century panelling bearing inlaid Harley and Fitzwilliam Arms, a Tudor-arched ashlar fireplace, and a moulded span beam. A bedroom above has a similar fireplace. The west wing accommodates four rooms with Tudor-arched corner fireplaces, chamfered span beams (two with lambs tongue stops), a 17th-century plank door, and an 18th-century two-panel door. The roof is a principal rafter construction, dating to the 17th century and featuring collars and double purlins, incorporating largely re-used timber. To the south, an adjoining terrace is present, built of dressed stone and brick, with half-round 20th-century steps and a notable late 17th-century scrolled wrought iron railing with a wavy plan.
