Description
This is a farmhouse dating from the early 16th century, with significant alterations in the early 18th and early 19th centuries, and renovated around 1932. The construction combines timber framing, coursed rubble, and brick, with hipped and gabled plain and pantile roofs. It has a rendered plinth, cogged eaves, a single coped gable, and two ridge, one side wall, and one gable stack. The building is two storeys plus garrets, with a three-bay layout, forming an L-plan. The windows are mostly 20th-century sashes, often leaded and with glazing bars.
On the garden side, a single-storey, three-bay brick outbuilding with a pantile roof, dating from the mid-19th century, features a French window, a door, and a casement. A glazed door is located in the return angle, with two further casements alongside. Above are two smaller casements. The projecting hipped wing on the south west front includes a mid-20th century bay window with a slate roof and a casement. A gabled brick doorcase, also from the mid-20th century, features a glazed door flanked by a casement and a French window with flanking lights, and a casement in the return angle. Above are two casements. The street side has two unequal gables, with a large sash window with a segmental head to the right. Above, a dummy sash is positioned to the left, alongside a smaller casement. Further along, another sash with a segmental head is present, and above that, a small sash.
The rear elevation displays a sash with a segmental head to the left, and a canted, leaded bay window with a porch hood to the right. A door is located in the return angle, and above, a small casement and a sash window are present. The outbuilding on the right has a door at each end. The north east gable has a square hatch, while the north west wing exhibits two panels of close stud timber framing with a single arch brace, two complete bay posts, remnants of four others, tie beams (one chamfered with stops), a principal rafter roof with a single purlin and curved wind braces, a chamfered fireplace bressumer with one stop, and a small remnant of a stud partition. The late 17th century incorporates a framed panelling and an early 17th century chip carved overmantel. The early 18th century wing's features include chamfered oak span beams with stops, chamfered softwood span beams, a fireplace bressumer with wall posts at each end, a softwood principal rafter roof with struts and collars. The house was altered and refenestrated from 1932 onwards, and renamed Old Manor House during this process.
