Description

The Manor House is a farmhouse, later adapted as a house, dating to the mid-to-late 16th century, with a cross wing added in the early 17th century. It is constructed of timber framing with brick infill panels and has gabled plain tile roofs. Brick rear lateral stacks are also present. The building follows a two-unit plan, with the cross wing projecting to the left. It is two storeys high with a two-window front. C20 doors and casement windows are visible. The gable end of the right-hand cross wing features an ovolo-moulded bressummer to the first-floor jetty. A single-storey extension was added to the rear around 1980.

The interior retains exposed timber framing. The original 16th-century range on the left features quartered stop-chamfered beams and joists in the main room, which is divided by a timber-framed partition (with a blocked doorway) from a small service room to the left. The gable wall on the right, formerly an exterior wall, has a moulded bressummer to the first-floor jetty. The roof is a two-bay queen-post roof with a criss-cross pattern to the wattle and daub panels of the off-centre truss. The cross wing to the right also has stop-chamfered beams, though with later jointing to the joists. It has a two-bay collar-truss roof with trenched purlins. Stop-chamfered beams are present on all of the first floor.
