Description
Manor House is a 16th-century building located on Clopton Manor Road. It features a timber-framed structure with colourwashed render and brick, topped with a plaintile roof that was originally thatched. The house is two storeys high.
The entrance front has close studded walling with arched braces. A 20th-century door is positioned to the right, accompanied by a 2-light window. All the windows on this front are of 20th-century design. To the left, there is a 4-light window with 4-centered heads, and further left is a 3-light window. On the first floor, there is a 3-light window on the left, a central 4-light window with 4-centered heads, and a 2-light window on the far right. The building has a deep plinth made of Flemish bond brick with two offsets. Except for the first-floor window on the far left, all the windows have been heavily restored in the 20th century, featuring diamond-section mullions. The ground and first-floor 4-light windows are separated by a deep moulded transom, which may have been relocated from another site. A stack with two flues is located at the ridge on the left side.
The right gable end has brick walling on the ground floor, with a 5-light 20th-century casement window on the right. The first floor features a 4-light casement with diamond-shaped mullions and a single light in the attic. The left gable end is also brick and includes a 4-light window on the ground floor, along with 3 and 2-light windows on the first and attic floors. An outshut is situated to the left, featuring a stable door.
At the rear, there is a lean-to outshut on the right with a 3-light and a single-light window, and to the left of this is a projecting gabled porch with a 20th-century arched door. In the re-entrant angle on the right, a 5-light window with moulded mullions is present, and above this on the first floor is a long 2-light window.
The interior was not inspected during the 1987 resurvey, but a description from 1971 notes an inserted floor from around 1600 in the hall, a screen passage with a pair of 4-centered door heads, a cross-wall with curved braces, exposed timber in various areas, and fireplaces with 4-centered heads.
