Description
Number 62, known as The Manor House, is a house that has been converted into about 13 flats. It dates from the early 18th century, with additions made in the mid-18th century and late 18th century, along with some alterations in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has a tiled roof.
The original part of the house is on the right and is two storeys high with cellars and an attic that features five gabled dormers. It has a wooden cornice with modillions, rusticated pilasters at the corners, and a stone string course at the ground and first floors. There are five windows with glazing bar sashes set in moulded wooden architraves under rubbed brick heads. Above the central window, there is a semi-circular headed tablet displaying a crest. The entrance, located to the right of the centre where a window would have been, features a moulded wooden architrave, a segmental pediment, a three-pane overlight, and a six-panel door. To the left of the door, there is a hanging sign on a late 19th-century wrought iron bracket that reads "Manor House."
The mid-18th-century section is also two storeys high with cellars and an attic lit by four gabled dormers, and it has a dentilled brick cornice. This part has four windows with boxed glazing bar sashes under rubbed brick heads. The ground floor features two boxed glazing bar sashes on the left and two 15-pane boxed sashes on the right. There is a wooden doorhead on the left side inscribed "16 EC 07" (Edward Cheke).
The late 18th-century addition is three storeys high and has a moulded wooden cornice with a band at the first floor. It has two triangular plan oriel windows under rubbed brick heads, and the second floor has four windows with glazing bar sashes under timber lintels. The ground floor features two glazing bar sashes on the right under rubbed brick heads and a carriage entrance with a segmental head on the left.
The property is fronted by cast iron railings that extend along the entire frontage, with gates at the cellar entries that have decorative lock plates featuring a fluted fan. Inside the early 18th-century part, there is an open well staircase with a ramped and moulded handrail, bulbous turned balusters, and a closed and moulded string.
