Description
The Manor House is a house that includes an attached barn, both dating from the 16th century. The building features a central chimney and an inserted floor in the hall from the 17th century, along with a low west extension added in the 20th century. The structure has a timber frame on a stucco sill, with painted brick infill on the north side and a painted brick casing at the rear (south). The barn is dark weatherboarded and has a steep old red tile roof.
The house is two storeys tall and six windows long, facing north. It has two structural bays on either side of a narrow chimney bay, with a gabled stair turret to the south of the stack and a 20th-century porch on the south side. There is a single-storey bow-ended hipped extension at the west end, which is beyond a large external west gable chimney. The windows are casement style with lattice leaded glazing.
Inside, the house features an exposed frame with jowled posts, straight braces, and a clasped-purlin roof. The eastern bay contains roughly squared axial joists, while the next bay to the west (east of the chimney) has a squared axial beam and joists. The joists are numbered, chamfered, and have stops, with one axial beam over the hall to the west of the chimney. There is a south side door in a full-height partition at the west end of the hall, leading to a parlour bay that is now used as a kitchen.
The barn has heavy jowled posts, a clasped-purlin roof, and heavy curved inclined queen-posts (without collars) supporting the trusses, along with straight wind braces and a straight butted scarf joint in the wallplate. The house occupies the north end of the barn, with stables located in the south end and a gabled projection to the east.
