Description

Manor House (Burley Hall) is a farmhouse with an attached service wing and coach house, dating back to the 17th century. Originally timber-framed, the main structure was largely rebuilt in the 18th century and altered and extended in the 19th century. The exterior is constructed of uncoursed squared stone with minimal brick dressings, and has a plain tile roof with patterned ridge tiles. The house has two external gable stacks with coped brick shafts dating to the 19th century.

The house itself, two stories plus attics and a U-plan configuration, originally had a 1/3/1 bay layout. Later 20th-century plastic glazing has been installed in the original window openings. A central gabled porch, built in the 19th century, shelters an 18th-century plank door with an overlight. Flanking the door are two 2-light windows. Above these are three square windows, and above those, two gabled dormers, each containing a 2-light window. Single 2-light windows are present on each floor of the wings. The rear of the house features a 20th-century gabled porch with a plain tile roof, obscuring an 18th-century moulded doorcase with an early 19th-century half-glazed double door. 19th-century iron glazing bar casements (2 and 3 lights) are situated to the right. Above are three casements, two lights.

The two-story service range, with three bays, also has mainly 20th-century plastic glazing in original openings, those to the ground floor featuring brick segmental heads. It has two 2-light windows on each floor to the left. A projecting wing to the right has a 19th-century glazing bar casement to the ground floor and a 20th-century window above. The coach house has a single 19th-century casement on each floor, and a hatch door with a wooden lintel to the right. The rear of the coach house features a 20th-century door flanked to the left by a 19th-century 2-light casement and double doors to the coach house, and to the right by two similar casements, all with segmental heads. Above are four unequally spaced 2-light casements. The coach house also has a stable door and overlight to the right, flanked to the left by a 19th-century 2-light casement, with renewed 2-light casements above. All these openings have segmental heads. The north end has an external stone stair leading to a 19th-century board door.

Inside, the kitchen at the north end has a later 20th-century partition wall. A principal room contains an 18th-century chamfered spine beam with run-out stops, exposed joists, a remodelled principal fireplace with a side oven, a late 18th-century 6-panel door, and a niche. Another principal room has a cased beam, panelled shutters and a 6-panel door, dating to the late 18th century. A dogleg staircase lacks balusters. The first floor landing has a small section of box framing, reused. The roofspace features 17th-century trusses and box-framed cross walls with plastered infill panels, double butt purlins (largely reused), and plank doors. The service range has a standard later 19th-century roof structure.
