The Manor House

The Manor House is a house dating from the early to mid-16th century, with significant alterations and extensions in the 17th and 19th centuries. The structure is timber-frame construction, with areas rendered and others refaced in brick, incorporating decorative applied timber framing and pargetting. The roof is tiled, with gabled ends featuring pierced bargeboards, and the house has brick axial stacks. The plan is H-shaped, comprising a small, originally open-roofed, hall, a parlour to the east with a chamber above, and a shorter two-storey bay to the west. A cross-passage is present on the left side of the hall, alongside end stacks, while the west end also includes a short kitchen range added around the 17th century. The east end crosswing is likely of the 17th century, while the corresponding gabled wing on the front of the west end and the service wings behind appear to be 19th-century additions, likely resulting from a Tudor-style remodelling in the late 19th century.

The north front has a 2-storey, 1:3:1 bay arrangement, with the end bays set in gabled crosswings featuring applied timber framing and brick nogging; the central three bays are pargetted. It has moulded, three-light mullion windows with glazing bars, and three ground-floor canted bays. A central, gabled two-storey porch with gothic wooden columns with carved capitals is present, with applied timber framing and a canted oriel on brackets above. The rear of the house is brick-faced, with a gabled crosswing on the right and a long, gable-ended service wing on the left.

The interior has seen little alteration since the 19th century; much of the joinery and chimneypieces from that period remain, including panelled doors, window shutters, and a staircase with stick balusters and a column newel. The parlour features a 19th-century marble chimneypiece, while the parlour chamber has a larger, chamfered Tudor arch chimneypiece. Dado panelling is present in the parlour, and some old plank doors survive. Most ceiling beams are now plastered over. A chamfered ceiling beam with cyma stops and a large fireplace are present in the east crosswing and kitchen at the west end. The main range has a three-bay roof with collars and clasped purlins; the west bay is smaller, and the open hall bay at the centre retains wind-braces, common rafter couples, and framed partitions, all smoke blackened.
