Description
Old Manor is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. It features a timber frame with painted brick and rendered infill, as well as painted brick replacement walling. The roof is machine-tiled, with a large brick chimney on the main ridge and a 19th-century brick stack at the rear south end of the main ridge. The layout consists of a hall and a cross-wing, with the hall likely comprising three framed bays aligned north to south, and a large chimney situated between the northern and central bays, which indicates a former lobby-entry plan. The cross-wing, located at the north gable end, consists of two framed bays.
The building has two storeys. The hall section has three panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with long straight braces in the lower front corners. It also features a collar and tie-beam truss with two struts below the collar and a V-strut in the apex at the south gable end. The cross-wing has a row of rectangular panels from the girding beam to the wall-plate on its north side, some of which have a rail dividing them into two panels. It includes short straight cusped upper corner braces and a collar and tie-beam truss with two struts at both gable ends.
On the west front elevation, the windows are arranged irregularly and are mainly 20th-century casements. The hall part has a two-light and a single-light window, along with a three-light and another two-light window on the ground floor. The single-light window has been inserted into a blocked doorway that once served as the lobby entrance. The first floor features three two-light windows and two three-light windows. The gable end of the cross-wing has a two-light window on both floors, with the first-floor window having a cambered head. The main entrance is located at the rear. Additionally, there is a West of England fire insurance mark attached to the hall part of the building.
