Description

The Old Manor, 1 Yew Tree Lodge, and the remains of the former manor house adjoining to the west are part of the service wing of the former Ickleford Manor, now divided into two houses. This structure dates from the early 18th century and was remodeled after a fire around 1911. The ground floor features stucco over red brick, while the first floor consists of a thin timber frame with red brick infill panels. The main range has a steep old red tile roof that is hipped at the west end.

On the south side of the courtyard, there is a tall two-storey range with seven windows facing north, along with the remains of the manor house to the southwest, which includes a tall arched chimney and five flush-box sash windows also facing north. The main range has a chimney at the east gable, two chimneys along the ridge, and a large gabled porch with an eight-panel door situated one window from the east end. The right-hand side has two windows that belong to 1 Yew Tree Lodge, which features a gabled porch at the right end. The flush-box sash windows have six-over-six panes. This building is part of a picturesque courtyard group.
