Description

Manor House is a house that dates from the early 19th century for its front range, while the rear range has been extensively rebuilt and includes elements from around 1300, the 16th century, late 17th century, and the 19th century. The front range is constructed of pale yellow brick and features a hipped slated roof. It has two storeys and three bays, with flanking pilaster strips and a narrow centre bay. The windows are inset sash style with glazing bars and flat stuccoed lintels, with the first-floor windows on the left and right being blind. The entrance has a six-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight that also has glazing bars, set within a semi-circular arched recess. A wooden bracketed eaves cornice completes the front.

The rear range is primarily timber framed, now faced in colourwashed brick, and has a roof of black pantiles. It has two storeys and an attic. The section adjacent to the front range contains remnants of one bay of a two-bay late 13th or early 14th-century aisled hall, from which the aisles have been removed. There is one octagonal arcade post with a much mutilated carved capital, while the opposite post may still exist but is not visible. The open truss features doubled passing braces halved against the arcade post and tie beam, although the braces to the arcade plate and tie beam are missing, leaving the mortices visible. On the west side, the arcade plate is fully exposed, showcasing a stop-splayed and tabled scarf joint with a transverse key and sallied butts. An intermediate tie beam is positioned over this joint. The main timbers are numbered: the tie beam, arcade plate, and arcade post of the open truss are all marked IV; an additional tie beam and arcade plate are marked V; and the arcade plate in the position of the missing truss is marked VI. Two further bays were added in the 16th century, possibly when the current floor was inserted in the open hall. Slightly moulded joists are exposed on both floors, but much of the studwork has been lost. The roof over the entire rear range is from the 19th century.
