Number 15A (The Manor House ), Number 19 (Three Willows) And Numbers 15 And 17

Number 15A (The Manor House), Number 19 (Three Willows), and Numbers 15 and 17 form a complex of buildings with origins in the late 15th century. The original structure ran parallel to the street and may have served as a guildhall or similar public building. Early room divisions indicate two upper halls, while the ground floor originally comprised four units with wide openings suggesting windows on the jettied south side. The roof features plain crown-posts with braced collars and splayed edge-halved scarf joints to the wall plates.

In the early 17th century, the building was converted into the kitchen wing of a manor house, with the addition of a timber-framed and plastered range at a right angle to the south side, incorporating two gabled stair-turrets. To the east, a timber-framed barn was constructed, complete with a cartway leading into a courtyard. Further barn additions were made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The entire complex has been recently converted into four separate dwellings.

The building presents a mixed street facade, with the original barn to the east and the guildhall to the west. It is two storeys in height. The exterior materials include weatherboarding, modern brick, plastered timber framing, and painted 18th-century red brick with a band between floors. The roofs are covered in plain tiles, and the chimneys include a late 16th-century octagonal shaft with a moulded brick cap, and a large stack with grouped diagonal shafts. There are three oak doors and a double doorway leading to the cartway, and nine first-floor windows, including three horizontal sliding sashes. Ground floor windows include a 19th-century hung sash window with glazing bars and smaller single-light windows.

The interior reveals the structure of the early building, with exposed roof, wall, and floor frames. Notable features include fine 17th-century oak panelling and chimney pieces in the 17th-century range (some restored), large inglenook hearths, and a dog-leg, closed string oak staircase with turned balusters.
