Description

Manor Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 17th century and has undergone some alterations in the late 20th century. The building is timber-framed with rendered infill on a rubble base, and features some painted brick and rubble refacing. The roofs are machine-tiled, with a brick stack located at the north end of the ridge. The structure has a T-plan layout, consisting of a single-bay hall that runs east to west, which includes an external brick chimney with oversailing cap courses on the south side. There is a cross-wing of two-and-a-half bays that adjoins the west end. The building has two storeys.

The framing includes four rows of panels, with two rows per storey. The east end of the hall and the north end of the cross-wing feature jet tied gables supported by shaped brackets. The first floors were originally jettied; however, the hall jetty has been underbuilt in brick, while the cross-wing jetty has been underbuilt in rubble. The jet tied first floor on the north side of the hall remains intact. The east end of the hall has a tie-beam truss with decorative latticed struts. The gable ends of the cross-wings have collar and tie-beam trusses with three collars, supported by rows of seven, five, and three struts beneath each collar, along with a single strut in the apex. Note that the truss at the north end has been replaced in the 20th century.

On the east front elevation, all the windows are 20th-century casements. The gable end of the hall features a two-light window on both floors. The cross-wing has two two-light windows on the ground floor, positioned on either side of the projecting central hall bay. The main entrance is now located at the south end of the cross-wing and includes a 20th-century door with a plank weathering. Additionally, there are two gabled half-dormers at the rear of the cross-wing. Inside, the hall has a chamfered cross-beamed ceiling.
