The Manor

The Manor is a house dating primarily to the early 17th century, with origins in the 16th century and incorporating earlier materials and possibly an earlier building. It was altered in the mid-19th century and early 20th century. The house is constructed of red brick with blue brick chequering, and some rubble, with a plain tile roof. It has four stacks: two lateral stacks visible from the front, each with two diagonally set shafts; two at the rear; and two external lateral stacks, one of rubble with a chamfered plinth, now with two 20th-century diagonally set shafts, and another originally larger and stepped to three sides, now reduced in size and with three diagonally set 20th-century shafts.

The main facade is two storeys plus a garret, with three gabled bays. The left bay has a single 20th-century casement flanked by smaller similar casements. The central bay features a red brick and plain tile 19th-century porch with decorative bargeboards, an arched entrance, and arched fixed lights in the side walls; the inner doorway has a 20th-century door. A tripartite 20th-century casement is to the right of the porch, and a single similar casement is in the right bay. Above are five similar casements, and each gable apex has a small casement. All casements have glazing bars and 20th-century dripmoulds. A two-storey, single-bay red brick extension, dating to the 20th century, is connected to the left, with a quadripartite casement and dripmould on the ground floor. A single-storey, single-bay red brick range is further to the left, with a small casement and dripmould. The garden front mirrors the main facade, with the central bay being slightly smaller, and containing a tripartite cross-glazing-bar stair light.

The interior retains a roof with cusped wind braces and re-used purlins and tie beams. An attic doorway has a decoratively carved jamb. This attic contains low plastered partitions, likely used for grain storage. The remainder of the house is heavily timbered, with stud partitions and re-used 16th-century chamfered and moulded beams. A room to the west is reputed to have contained a large 16th-century four-centred moulded arched stone fireplace, which has now been plastered over.
