The Manor and former coach house

The Manor and former coach house

This building comprises remains of a 14th-century abbey chamber, converted into a dwelling and altered and extended during both the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Manor itself is constructed primarily of brick in Flemish bond. The north elevation features a sandstone lower storey, and a stone canted bay projects from the west. The roofs are covered in slate. The plan consists of a principal linear range running west to east with an adjoining range projecting to the south and east. The southern range has a hipped roof with a central gable on its south elevation.

The 14th-century remains are contained within the north range, where the sandstone block lower storey is visible from the north elevation. The sandstone projects slightly from the rest of the brick building and is capped with lead. This elevation features two large stacks with upper sections constructed of brick in stretcher bond. The north range has a gable roof with brick parapets to either end. Early 19th-century sash windows have been inserted into this elevation, with a casement window as the only exception to the left of the ground floor. To the east is a later single-storey brick block.

The principal west elevation has a projecting gable with a large canted bay ground floor window containing tall mullion windows. Above is a stone balustrade with cusped trefoil detail and two six-over-six sashes, with a further three-over-six sash on the second floor. The building's principal entrance, located to the south, consists of a six-panelled door with a gothic glazed fanlight above. A further sash window is positioned to the south of the door on the ground floor, with two sashes above. This southern range containing the entrance has a dentilled brick cornice and a deep stone plat band just above ground level.

The southern range has a central brick gable to its south elevation, with a deep stone tablet containing a coat of arms at the apex. To either side of the gable is a deep brick stack. The south elevation displays a symmetrical composition, intersected by a flat-roofed single-storey range. The window openings are all under rubbed brick flat arches, with ground floor windows as six-over-six sashes (including those in the single-storey range) and upper floor windows as three-over-six.

The east elevation contains a blind window and a further entrance door at its south end within the single-storey range. To the north is the west end of the southern hipped-roof range, with single openings on either floor containing casement windows under flat brick arches. From the west and east elevations, several inserted iron ties with square pattress plates are visible in the timber-framed north range.

The interior of the north range contains a 14th-century three-bay collar-purlin roof structure with two of the original trusses surviving; the gable-end trusses have been lost. The roof structure is without tie-beams but has moulded braces which meet to form a pointed arch. Unusually, the roof structure lacks crown-posts, instead featuring small carved blocks which carry the moulded collar-purlin. 14th-century timber framing also survives within the basement, with a wall plate, studs and arches of a door-head visible.

The former 19th-century brick coach house stands to the east of The Manor, oriented roughly north-south. The south elevation has a large ground-floor opening with a wide brick three-centred arch, and a further opening with a segmental brick arch above; both now contain late 20th-century glazing, with the ground floor in use as a shop as of 2022. The building has a gable roof with dentilled cornice. A projecting brick entrance door and further window openings are located on the west elevation.
