The Manor House

The Manor House is a manor house dating to the 16th century. A small projecting wing on the north front is dated 1636, and a wing behind it was largely rebuilt in the early or mid-19th century. The north front was refaced and a left range added in the mid-to-late 19th century. The house is timber framed, with the 16th-century range having close studding and large framing with plaster infill to the garden. The 1636 wing has small framing with braces, underbuilding, and whitewashed brick infill. Rebuilding and refacing have used brick. The roof is of old plain tiles, with a 19th-century brick ridge and internal stacks.

The house originally had a U-plan which has been extended to a complex F-plan with wings to the garden. It is two storeys high, with a six-window range to the north front. The 1636 wing incorporates a late 20th-century bow window, and a moulded bressumer is visible, bearing the date. The first floor is largely underbuilt. A leaded, three-light wood mullioned and transomed window retains some crown glass. The left return side shows exposed timber framing, while the main range features a leaded, two-light casement in the angle on the first floor. A small amount of sandstone ashlar is used to the centre, with a large central gable. 19th-century wood mullioned and transomed windows, and a first-floor casement, are mostly of three lights, with glazing bars. The ground floor has a large four-light window on the left. A small porch with a chamfered Tudor arch and a part-glazed door is on the left return side, and a zig-zag cornice on the right return. The south front, facing the garden, has a left wing of brick, featuring a gable with corbelling. The whitewashed right return side has late 20th-century three-light casements, and the centre and left return side of the right wing exhibit exposed studding. The centre of the right wing has a late 20th-century glazed door and a tall, narrow, 19th-century five-light window, with a three-light casement above.

An irregular gabled staircase projection, possibly dating to the 17th century, is located on the right and is mostly of large framing with a 20th-century window on the right and a four-light casement on the first floor. The right wing itself is rendered over timber framing and a stone and brick plinth, with 20th-century three-light casements. A 19th-century stack in the angle between the wing and right range has chamfered shafts. The 19th-century right range features a large gable. The altered ground floor incorporates a 20th-century glazed door with an overlight and a large conservatory window under a single wood lintel, with two three-light casements above. Host windows throughout have glazing bars.

The interior features exposed framing and heavy ceiling beams. A room in the right wing has an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer and bread oven. The dining room has an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer and a cupboard with double-leaf moulded panelled doors; one broad-chamfered ceiling beam has an ogee stop, and a window has a 19th-century sliding shutter. The staircase hall has a Tudor-arched chamfered doorway with a moulded beam above, and a straight-flight staircase with winders incorporates an X-framed balustrade. An enclosed straight-flight staircase with winders, thought to be from the 17th century, has a door with H-L hinges. A first-floor room contains massive jowled posts and a chamfered cambered tie beam, along with moulded wood mullions of a former window. Several rooms contain moulded plank doors, fielded four-panelled doors, or two-panelled doors.
