Description
The Old Manor is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the early 18th century and the 20th century. It features a timber-frame structure with rendered infill and a hipped tile roof. The building has a U-shaped plan, with the front range aligned northeast to southwest and wings extending to the rear (northwest). There is a lobby entrance located to the left (southwest) of the center, positioned against a stack that has two shafts in a six-point star plan. A stair turret is centrally placed on the rear wall. The house has two storeys with an attic, which is lit by two hipped dormers. The ground floor includes an off-center left entrance with a mid-20th century hipped tiled canopy, and the windows are mid-20th century casements with two lights.
Inside, there are many early 17th-century boarded doors with applied mouldings, and the staircase in the turret dates from the early 17th century, featuring turned balusters. The framing originally consisted of three square panels high to the first floor, with close-studding on the ground floor. The gables of the cross-wings were removed from the front elevation when the hipped roof was constructed in the early 18th century. The rear gable of the right cross-wing has panels with decorative timber infill that form quatrefoils.
