Description

The Old Manor is a house dating from the 16th century, built in two phases, with the north wing being the earlier section. It features a timber frame with rendered wattle and daub infill and has plain tiled roofs, forming an H plan. The building stands on a brick plinth and has two storeys plus an attic. The west front includes a central door with a pedimented surround, flanked by a leaded side window and two leaded cross casements in a renewed timber frame. The first floor has two leaded casements, while the cross wings also feature similar cross casements, although the attic window in the south wing is blocked. The exterior is plastered with herring-bone panels, and both the south and north wings are broadly similar. The south wing has two ridge stacks and an east gable made of 18th-century brick with tumbling and a parapet on kneelers.

Inside, the framing is complete, with chamfered and tongue-stopped beams and straight braces supporting the first floor corner posts. The roof of the north wing retains a pair of Queen posts with arched braces supporting clasped purlins and a collar. The south range has an 18th-century roof featuring staggered butt purlins and collars. One of the ground floor rooms in the south wing is panelled, dating from around 1800.
