The Manor House

The Manor House is a house, likely dating back to the 17th century or earlier. It was extended and faced with brick between the late 18th and mid-19th centuries. The core structure is timber frame, with whitewashed brick casing and additions, all under tiled roofs. The original house was three bays wide, with a central, single-storey and attic range. Later additions create blocks at either end, possibly representing earlier cross wings.

A 19th-century gabled porch was added at the right end of the central range, containing two round-headed lancet windows flanking a half-glazed door set within a reveal. A coped parapet with kneelers tops the central range, and a plinth runs along the base. Two 20th-century French windows are on the ground floor. The first floor has small six-pane sashes with pointed Gothick traceried heads, set within brick eaves with dentils. An original stack is on the right end, with a rebuilt cap.

To the right is a two-storey, two-bay block with a French window on the ground floor and a fixed glazing bar casement above. A projecting bay here has two small, round-headed lights with hood moulds, and a hipped roof with dentilled brick eaves. To the left, a gable-fronted block projects forward, with two storeys and an attic. It features sixteen-pane sashes in reveals with rendered key blocked lintels, a small attic light, and dentilled eaves on the returns. A cross axial ridge stack is present. The left return has a ground-floor sash and a blind opening on the first floor.

A projecting gabled bay towards the rear features an entrance and a ground-floor three-light casement, and a first-floor sash. The right return incorporates ground-floor French windows and first-floor sashes, with dentilled brick eaves. A hipped roof covers the 19th-century timber porch at the front. A ground-floor lean-to outshut is located behind the main range. A gable end at the rear of the projecting left block has an end stack.

Inside, the house retains stop-chamfered binding beams, jowled posts, collars clasping purlins, and curved windbraces. Fireplaces are present; one on the ground floor has a neo-classical design, and a first-floor fireplace has a finely detailed reeded surface of earlier origin. Eighteenth-century six-panelled doors with reeded architraves and panelled shutters are found on the ground floor. The south crosswing suggests an even earlier core, with plasterwork panelling resembling reeds or staves, and a fireplace surround in an 18th-century style. A first-floor fireplace with bolection moulding implies a 17th-century date. It is reported the Manor House was once used as a Quaker Meeting House.
