Description
Manor House is a house that likely dates back to the early 16th century, with some remodeling in the late 16th century and later additions and alterations. The exterior is covered in pebbledash, hiding a timber frame, and it features a plain tile roof. The original layout consists of three framed bays, with the two bays on the right open to the roof. A floor was added later in the 16th century, along with a stack. There is a stone outshut at the rear. The house has one storey and an attic, with a 19th-century casement window to the left of the entrance and 19th and 20th-century casements to the right. Above the central window, there is a raking eaves dormer with a 19th-century casement. The entrance features a 20th-century six-panel door beneath a 19th-century gabled wooden porch, with a prominent brick ridge stack immediately to the left.
Inside, the back wall shows exposed framing with rectangular panels, two of which extend from the cill to the wall-plate, supported by straight tension braces. There is also a cross-wall between the centre and right rooms, featuring long straight tension braces. The room to the right of the stack has a late 16th-century deep-chamfered cross-beam ceiling with heavy joists, and it contains a partly infilled inglenook with a 19th-century wooden fireplace and cast-iron grate. A similar ceiling is found in the right ground-floor room. Throughout the house, there are 17th-century panelled and plank doors. The roof structure consists of a single-purlin collar and tie beam design in three bays, with straight windbraces. A doorway has been cut through the tie beam of the second truss from the left, indicating that the ceiling is a later addition. The rear outshut, which was formerly a dairy, is divided into two sections with a stone-flag floor.
