The Old Manor

The Old Manor is a house dating from the late 16th century, which was restored around 1930. It features a timber-framed structure with brick infill and brick replacement walls set on a sandstone rubble plinth, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building has four framed bays aligned roughly north to south and includes a large central chimney with a group of four octagonal shafts located at the rear of the ridge. The main entrance is a lobby entry on the east elevation.

The house has two storeys and an attic with dormers. The framing includes brick replacement walls at the ground floor, while the first floor displays three panels extending from the girding beam to the wall-plate, with long straight braces in the lower corners of both the front and rear elevations. The upper corners of the north gable end have short straight braces. The gable ends feature collar and tie-beam trusses, with the north gable end truss having five struts to the lower collar, three to the upper collar, and a V-strut in the apex. The south end truss has three struts to the lower collar and two to the upper collar, with other struts and a section of the lower collar replaced with brick.

The main east elevation has irregular fenestration with all windows being 20th-century leaded casements, which include a 4-light window, a 3-light window, a narrow rectangular light, and two 2-light windows on the ground floor, along with two 2-light and three narrow rectangular lights on the first floor. There are also two small gabled dormers with 2-light casements. A central 20th-century hipped-roofed timber-framed porch with brick infill sits on a brick plinth, featuring a rectangular light facing east and a 20th-century door on the right side. The attic lights and scalloped bargeboards are present at the gable ends.

Inside, there are large back-to-back fireplaces. An extension with a catslide roof runs nearly the full length of the west elevation and includes an external chimney with paired diagonal shafts, along with a lean-to extension at the north gable end. The Old Manor is a substantial timber-framed house that has been well restored in the early 20th century.
