The Old Manor Cottage

The Old Manor Cottage is an outbuilding of the former Ickleford Manor, now functioning as a house. It dates back to the 17th century and was renovated in the 1980s. The building features an exposed timber frame on the eastern gable, with a roughcast front and a steep old red tile roof. It consists of three cells and is one and a half stories tall, located on the southern side of a courtyard and facing north, adjacent to a taller building to the west, which is now The Old Manor. There is a reconstructed single-storey wing to the east that is not of special interest. Inside, there is an internal chimney located a third of the way from the eastern end, and an enclosed gabled porch is situated a third of the way from the western end. The cottage has four gabled dormer windows at the eaves and three casement windows on the ground floor. The framing in the eastern gable includes jowled posts, a mid-height rail, tie-beam, and purlin ends of a clasped-purlin roof structure. The building is part of a picturesque courtyard group.
