Description
This is a manor house, originally dating from the late 14th and 15th centuries, with an early 19th-century extension to the rear and remodelling in the later 19th century. The house is built with roughcast over a brick and timber frame, and has gabled plain tile roofs, along with 19th-century brick ridge, lateral, and end stacks. It is arranged in an L-shape, with a cross-wing to the right, presenting two storeys and a four-window front. A late 19th-century bracketed segmental hood shelters a half-glazed front door. There are gabled canted bay windows with glazing-bar casements, and the gable end of the cross-wing features a 19th-century end stack on the right. An early 19th-century range runs parallel to the rear left, and a gabled projecting bay, incorporating a 15th-century timber-framed oriel window, is situated to the rear left. Internally, timber-framed partitions are obscured, and the main range has a late 14th/15th-century three-bay roof with queen-post trusses, cambered tie beams, curved windbraces, moulded tie beams, collars, wall plates, and purlins. A timber-framed projection, likely a former oriel window, is located to the rear left. The cross-wing has a late 15th/early 16th-century crown-post roof. The building holds group value as an important example of medieval domestic architecture.
