Description
The Manor House is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the 19th century. It is constructed of flint with brick dressings and features a thatched roof. The original 16th-century range runs east-west, with a south front that has two storeys. The central entrance has a 20th-century door under a hood with labels. To the right, there is a 20th-century three-light casement in a blocked original doorway, while to the left, there is a 20th-century French window and two small casements. The first floor has three 20th-century casements in reduced openings, all principal windows topped with square hoods on labels. The roof is gabled, and there is a stepped external west gable stack that has been partly rebuilt but is largely 16th-century. An internal east gable stack has a square plinth supporting three octagonal bell-based flues.
The north side of the house is dominated by a centrally placed two-storey hipped privy tower, which has been much rebuilt. Pantiled outshuts obscure most of the ground floor, while the upper floor features occasional 20th-century casements amid the scars of blocked 16th-century windows. A two-storey late 19th-century brick wing has been added to the east, running north-south, with a slate roof. This wing has single-storey canted bay windows on either side of a panelled door and three sash windows on the first floor, along with a gabled roof and internal end stacks.
Inside, the 19th-century wing reuses timber studs. The original wing is accessed through a round arch, with the eastern room featuring a chamfered bridging beam that terminates in tongue stops and a fireplace with a reused overmantel. There may be remains of a dais window in the north wall. The centre room has a two-light ovolo mullioned timber window that now looks into the north outshut. The west room contains chamfered bridging beams and a three-light ovolo mullioned casement. Above, there are remains of a blocked four-light ovolo mullioned window. The roof structure consists of tie beams and two tiers of butt purlins.
