Description
Manor Cottages Numbers 1 and 2 is a former manor house that has been converted into two cottages. It dates from the early 17th century, with additions made in the mid-18th century and the 20th century. The building features a timber frame with brick nogging and cladding, and it has plain tile roofs. Notable architectural elements include a partial rubble plinth, dentillated eaves, and a single coped gable with kneelers. The structure is two storeys high with garrets and consists of nine unequal bays arranged in a single range with a cross passage.
Most of the windows are 19th-century casements and Yorkshire sashes. On the southeast side, there are three casements on the left, followed by a lean-to addition with a casement, and an early 19th-century door with a hood and overlight. To the right of the door, there are four casements of various sizes. Above, three off-centre Yorkshire sashes are flanked by three irregularly spaced casements.
The northwest side features a 20th-century door flanked by single casements on the left, and to the right, there is a lean-to brick porch with a pantile roof and dentillated eaves, which includes a door and a casement in the return angle. Further right, there is a casement with a segmental head and a 20th-century door with a 19th-century pedimented hood. Beyond this, a 20th-century addition has a casement and a door with a flanking light. Above, there are three casements on the left, a Yorkshire sash with a segmental head to the right, and then a casement followed by another casement and a Yorkshire sash, both with segmental heads.
The northeast gable has a close boarded door flanked by two casements on the left and a single casement on the right. Above, there are two casements on each floor. Inside the central section, there are four 17th-century bay posts, three of which are jowled, with one having two struts. The building retains substantial remains of an external stud wall with an intermediate rail, two complete internal stud walls, and remnants of a third. There are also two chamfered span beams with stops. The northeast end features four 18th-century bay posts clamped to the principal rafters, along with chamfered span beams. The roof structure consists of principal rafters with butt purlins. Inside, there are two 19th-century winder stairs, one with stick balusters and the other with a square newel, as well as two framed eight-panel doors from the 17th and 18th centuries, and five early 19th-century plank doors.
