Description
The Manor House is a 17th-century house, with alterations from the early 19th century. It is timber-framed, with the rear plastered and faced in gault brick, and the front rendered. The roof is covered in plain tiles with gabled ends and brick cogged eaves. There are two brick axial stacks.
The house has a 4-room plan, with a hall (on the right) and parlour (on the left) at the centre, each heated by an axial stack. Smaller, unheated rooms are located at either end; the right-hand room has a loft above. A 19th-century outshut is situated at the rear of the right-hand room.
The north front is almost symmetrical, with 4 windows. It features 19th-century 2-light horizontally sliding sash windows with glazing bars. A doorway is located to the right of the centre, with a 20th-century door. At the rear are various 20th-century casements, a French casement, and on the left, the main roof slopes down as a catslide over the outshut, with a brick stack.
Inside, all four ground floor rooms have chamfered axial beams. The parlour has hollow step (or ogee) stops, while the hall has ogee stops, with both rooms retaining exposed joists. The hall features a large fireplace with a 20th-century carved wooden surround. The parlour has a smaller brick fireplace with a curved back and a thin chamfer to the timber lintel. Partitions in the end room are later additions. On the first floor, exposed jowled wall posts and a wall plate are visible at the rear. More of the timber frame is exposed in the chambers, with the left and left-of-centre chambers featuring chamfered axial beams with ogee stops. The left-of-centre chamber has a brick fireplace with a curved back, a chamfered lintel, and a panelled cupboard door to the right. A large brick stack is exposed in the right-of-centre chamber and the right-hand chamber has a blocked doorway in the rear wall. First-floor doors are plank doors. The roof structure includes clasped purlins, collars with halved lap joints, and rafters without a ridgepiece. Some later repairs have been carried out to the roof.
