Description

The Old Manor House is a 16th century building, with later alterations, located in Scole, Thelveton. It features a timber frame that is faced in brick and has steep roofs covered with plain tiles and pantiles. The structure is L-shaped, comprising a main range that is two stories high with an attic, and a one-story wing to the south that also has an attic.

Architecturally, there are segmental arches over brick openings that serve the stable and coach house. The stable includes fixed lights with glazing bars and a ground floor sash window in the east gable. A timber louvred vent is present on the south side of the stable's roof, along with a later brick chimney on the north side. A small lead-covered dormer is situated on the north side as well. The timber frame, which is mostly visible only from the interior, consists of four bays that are close-studded with tension braces, and the frame is largely underbuilt on the ground floor. At the first floor level, there are nine three-light mullion windows that are blocked but retain their mullions.

Inside, there is a wide dog-leg staircase leading from the first floor to the attic, featuring a simple chamfered newel and handrail, with a balustrade made of studwork and plastered infill. This staircase is located in a narrow structural bay, the second from the east. Additionally, there is a timber winding staircase leading to the attic in the south wing, which contains remains of a blocked mullion window.
