Description

Little Manor is a house dating from around 1600. It is constructed of rendered timber frame with brick, and has a thatched roof, hipped at the north end. The original plan comprised three rooms arranged in a lobby entrance style. The facade is of one and a half storeys, with irregular 20th-century casement windows. A small 20th-century light is located to the left, and two casements with a 20th-century porch are situated to the right. A brick plinth extends to the right of the porch, followed by two casements. Two 20th-century eyebrow dormers are also present. An axial brick stack is positioned off-centre, with 16th/17th-century brickwork at its base. The gable wall on the right is of brick, while the left gable wall is timber-framed. There are two plank doors, with a first-floor window positioned above; a dripboard is visible above. A casement window is set within the gable, also with a dripboard above it. A 20th-century lean-to addition extends from the rear.

Inside, the north room on the ground floor has a heavy chamfer to its transverse beam and joists, with a lambs tongue detail including a nick. A four-light diamond mullion window is on the east wall. The south room has a similar ceiling and is now used as a workshop and woodstore, accessible only from the outside; one doorway, now blocked, previously provided access to the central room. The central room has a four-light diamond mullion window in the west wall. A floor was likely inserted, with the transverse beam supported on deal props. The north room of the first floor also features a four-light diamond mullion window on the east wall. The roof north of the stack has coupled rafters of substantial size. A cambered tie beam with stud partition and arch braces is present, as are rafters of slight scantling to the south of the stack, which are likely to be 18th century, but were restored in the 20th century.
