The Old Manor House

The Old Manor House is a house, originally built around 1610-1620, and subsequently divided into cottages before being reunited as a single dwelling. It has undergone later additions and alterations. The house is constructed of red brick in a mixed bond pattern, with a graded slate roof featuring coped verges, carved stone kneelers, and ball finials to the front. Initially designed with a U-plan, it comprises a central hall range with gabled projections to the left and right. A late 18th-century outshut now fills the space between these ranges. The house is two stories high with gable-lit attics, exhibiting a toothed eaves cornice and a brick band at the apex of the left gable on both the front and rear elevations.

The windows are scattered across the facades; the majority are early 20th-century leaded casements, although some, particularly on the rear and in the attic of the left gable, are from the late 18th or early 19th century. The right gable has two windows on the first floor, while the left gable has three on the ground floor and one on each floor. A segmental-headed doorway in the left gable features a 20th-century leaded fanlight. An infill window is present in the attic of the right gable, and several 19th-century casements are on the rear, with three grouped together on each floor to the right of the hall range.

The outshut has an elliptical-arched doorway with keybrick and a 17th-century nail-studded plank door (with fleur-de-lys pointed strap hinges visible on the inside), which was moved from its original position. An elliptical-arched opening to its right, likely formerly a doorway, now contains a 20th-century leaded casement. A small raking eaves dormer sits directly above the entrance. Prominent brick stacks are located on the right side of the hall range and in the front-right corner of the left gabled range. The left gable has an integral brick stack with two fire windows on the lower level and three attached and rebated shafts. Two 3-light wooden mullion windows with leaded lights and gauged heads, plus a dentil detail on the floor band, are visible on the left wall of the left gable. A datestone beneath the eaves is largely illegible but is believed to read "161?". A Salop Fire Insurance plate numbered 10,169 is positioned below the datestone.

Internally, the house features chamfered ceiling beams with straight-cut stops and flat, heavy joists on the ground and first floors. Exposed light square timber framing is visible on the wall between the hall range and the right gable, and on the cross wall of the right gable on the first floor. An inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel is situated near the left stack. An 18th-century staircase leads from the first floor to the attic of the left gable and includes bobbin-shaped balusters. Wide boarded elm floorboards are found on the first floor. The roofs are double-purlin, with exposed collar and tie beam trusses in the attics of the gables. The hall range attic has a roof in two bays, one wider than the other, plus a bay for the stack.
