Description

The Old Manor House Hotel is a hall house that has been converted into a restaurant and public house. It dates from the early to mid 15th century and has undergone alterations in the 16th, 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building features a mix of timber framing encased in brick and brickwork in English bond, topped with an old tile cross-gabled and gabled roof.

The structure is arranged in an L-plan with three framed bays, likely including a former smoke bay in the north wing and a stair turret on the north front at the angle. There are later extensions to the north. The building varies in height, with parts being two storeys, parts having two storeys and an attic, and some sections rising to three storeys and an attic. It has two chimneys with clay pots, one of which has been rebuilt but is likely from the 16th century.

The south front, which serves as the entrance, features two single bay gables, with the right-hand gable being taller. These are connected by a two-storey, single bay gabled porch. The windows are modern diamond leaded casements. The left gable has two storeys with an attic, displaying platbands at the first and second floors and a two-light window at each level. The right-hand gable rises to three storeys with an attic, featuring a platband at the second floor that breaks over a three-light window with a segmental brick arched head. A platband at the first floor forms a pediment over a three-light window, while a four-light window is located at the ground floor. Some 17th-century timber framing is exposed at the rear.

Inside, there is a significant amount of high-quality timber framing visible. The ground floor has wide joists, some of which are chamfered with run-out stops, and there are curved brackets supporting the posts. The 17th-century newel stairs extend from the ground floor to the attic level. A large inglenook chimney with a reputed priest's hole is located on the first floor. The left-hand gable and porch were covered with ivy at the time of the survey, and there is a 20th-century extension on the north side.
