The Manor House

The Manor House is a house dating from around 1600, with extensions from the 17th century and minor alterations from the mid to late 19th century. It is timber framed with plain tile roofs and a brick stack. The main house consists of two framed bays aligned north-south, facing east, with a rear wing that forms a T-shaped plan and a central porch at the front. There are 17th-century extensions on each side of the rear wing; the northern extension runs the full length of the wing, while the southern extension is shorter.

The house is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic. The ground floor features close studding with a middle rail, while the first floor has an all-round jetty with a hollow chamfered and ovolo-moulded bresummer and square panels, with two panels reaching up to the eaves level. The windows on the first floor are 19th-century patterned glazing bar casements, and the gables above these windows have 19th-century shaped barge boards and finials. The central porch is gabled and close studded, also featuring 19th-century shaped barge boards and finials, along with a baluster king-post. Inside the porch, there is a heavy plank door with strap hinges.

The right-hand gable has wall framing similar to the front, with straight braces and a collar and tie beam roof truss that includes closely spaced studs. The left-hand gable features a tie beam and an interrupted collar roof truss, with rectangular panels framed by two vertical struts extending from the tie beam to the principals. The rear wing and southern extension are framed with square panels, while the northern extension has close studding and a middle rail.

Inside, there are two large open sandstone fireplaces with heavy timber bresummers that share the same chimney stack; one is located in the rear wing and the other in the northernmost room of the main range. The principal range also has exposed ceiling beams, including dragon beams.
