Description
The Manor House and Manor House Cottage are a pair of dwellings constructed in two phases, late 16th century and early 17th century. The buildings, originally a single house, are now divided into two separate residences.
The northern section, built in the late 16th century, is a single bay with a basement, main floor, and attic. It features brickwork in English bond, with a polygonal clasping buttress on the right side. The gable parapet incorporates an internal stack to the left, while the right gable has a coping with an internal stack having an octagonal shaft of molded brick. The basement level has a 2-light casement, renewed but within a 16th-century frame with a lozenge wood mullion. The main floor has a doorway on the right and a cross casement on the left, with a segmental relieving arch flanked by blocked openings. There is a dormer window in the attic with 20th-century casements. The right return has some flintwork, while the left return shows irregular brick bond, a platband, eaves band and a lean-to addition below. Two attic openings have been inserted. The rear of this section has two small basement openings; the main floor has two 2-light openings under segmental arches, the one on the left resembling the basement opening on the main façade, and the one on the right matching the others.
The southern section, built in the early 17th century and set back slightly, incorporates what was formerly No. 7 Cann's Lane. It comprises two bays, two storeys, built in English bond and with a plinth; it is covered with corrugated tiles. The first bay has a 4-light casement to the ground floor, renewed within an early wooden frame with wood mullions; a matching 4-light opening is on the first floor. A doorway is located to the left, and a large axial stack rises on the right. The second bay has renewed 4-light casements to both the ground and first floors. A late 20th-century bay has been added to the right, with a flat-roofed porch of no particular interest. The rear of the 17th-century section has a plinth and late 20th-century flat-roofed extensions of no significance. The rear incorporates varied fenestration, and a blocked 2-light 17th-century opening is on the first floor of the rear of the second bay.
