Description

The Manor House is a house dating from around 1580, which has been partly demolished and altered in the 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with a steeply pitched plain tiled roof. Originally larger, the remaining structure likely consisted of a hall and parlour, with service bays to the left. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a continuous jetty at the front and back. The front has four windows, and the entrance is now located to the right of the centre, featuring a 19th-century rectangular fanlight and 20th-century cross casements. The building has a plinth and a jetty supported by unbraced butt-ended joists leading to the bressumer.

The right gable end has an early external stack with offsets and a tapering shaft, while an inserted stack is located internally at the left end. The rear jetty displays guilloche ornament on the bressumer, and the original herringbone brick nogging is visible on the first floor, although these features are partially obscured by a 20th-century pantiled lean-to outshut. The first floor includes an original five-light cyma recta mullioned window with flanking two-light casements, as well as three 19th-century two-light gabled dormers.

Inside, the parlour features crossed roll and ovolo moulded binding beams with high-quality acanthus carved faces, each beam differing in detail and clearly reflecting Renaissance style. The hall has a three-light cyma recta mullioned window opening, a stop-chamfered axial binding beam, and close studding with curved braces. The first floor has always been ceiled with stop-chamfered axial binding beams and collars clasping purlins.
