The Manor House

The Manor House is a manor house dating from the 17th century, originally built with a timber frame and a two-unit lobby entry plan. In the mid-19th century, it was faced with red brick during the addition of a service wing to the north. The original stack was rebuilt to create a ground-floor passageway. The roofs are covered with plain tiles. The garden facade has five symmetrical bays and comprises two storeys. It features five four-paned hung sash windows on the first floor and four garden casement windows. The entrance is via a late 18th century raised and fielded six-panelled door. Inside, the house includes fine 18th century pine panelling originally from Arlington Street, Piccadilly, and two pine chimney pieces from Chester Square, London. A fine 18th century open string staircase is also present, which may have been imported. Notably, there is scenic wallpaper, "Vues de l'Amerique du Nord" by Zuber, first issued around 1835. Some exposed stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are also visible.
