Description
The Manor House is a manor house dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century. It features exposed timber framing and plaster, with a 17th century red brick plinth and walls. The rear has a 19th century brick casing. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, while the rear elevations have pantiles. The building has one storey and an attic, with hall range and jettied cross wings that are two storeys high. The east cross wing jetty is underbuilt, and the south gable wall and end stack were rebuilt in 17th century red brick. There is a tall 17th century red brick stack to the right of the hall with four diagonal shafts. The entrance has a four-panelled 19th century door located in the cross passage, with three ground floor and four first floor casement windows of various sizes.
Inside, the cross wings have crown-post roofs with slender braces to collar purlins. The side purlin in the roof is smoke blackened, with wide windbraces in each bay of the hall. There is an open truss with deep hollow-chamfered arched braces and a roll-moulded and embattled cornice. The service doors and parlour door feature four-centred arches. The hall has inserted 17th century ceiling beams, and the inglenook hearths have been relined. There are two mullioned windows in the cross wings, along with evidence for original oriel windows.
