Description
The Manor House is a farmhouse that dates back to around 1600 and has undergone various uses, including maltings and a lodging house, before being restored as a house in the 1920s. It has been altered in the 18th century and restored in the 20th century. The exterior features a painted timber frame with painted infill panels, painted render, and one bay of painted imitation timber frame, along with unpainted rubble stone. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a parapet on the east gable, along with two brick ridge stacks topped with 20th-century profiled shafts.
The building has a roughly L-shaped plan consisting of a three-bay main range and a three-bay cross wing, with later extension wings. It stands two storeys tall. The north side displays the gable end of the cross wing in the center, with the main range to the left and a rubble stone extension wing to the right. The heavily restored square framing features diagonal ornamental bracing that forms a lozenge pattern at the first floor, while the ground floor has close studding with a middle rail, a pattern that is repeated on the left return side of the projecting gable. The gable end has a jettied first floor supported by a bressumer with curved brackets. The gable truss includes a cambered tie beam, collar with vertical struts, diagonal patterned bracing below, and twin raking struts above. The windows are 20th-century restored casements with leaded lights. The east gable is made of rendered brick and has a parapet topped with three ornamental ball finials, along with 20th-century lattice casement windows and additional features at the rear.
Inside, the north gable room contains a reset carved overmantel dated 1623 and reset carved panelling. The interior also features chamfered bridging beams and cross bridging beams with ogee chamfer stops, twin trenched-purlin roofs with ridge pieces, and internal trusses with collars and vertical struts. The building was only referred to as the Manor House after its restoration in the 1920s.
