The Manor House

The Manor House is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with alterations and additions made in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features a combination of part timber frame with brick infill and part brick construction. The south elevation is grey brick with red dressings and bands, while the south end of the west elevation is red brick with blue patterns. The north end of the west elevation is rendered, and the roofs are tiled. The building has a rectangular plan running north to south, with a central stair tower on the east side flanked by a catslide over outshuts. There is a gabled cross wing added in the 19th and 20th centuries to the south, which has two gables on its south face.

The house is one and a half storeys high and has two ridge chimneys, with the southern chimney at the junction with the cross wing featuring three stacks. On the west elevation, there are leaded casements on the first floor, a 20th-century casement on the ground floor, and a mix of three, two, and three-light casements on the first floor. The ground floor has a two-light casement on the far left, a three-light square bay to the left, and two two-light casements flanking a central 20th-century brick and tiled porch, with the cross wing to the right.

The south elevation features three-light mullion and transomed windows with cambered heads in each gable. Inside, there is considerable exposed timber framing, and the house is structured as a three-bay house with a smoke bay, an inserted late 16th-century stack, and a two-bay cross wing. The early 17th-century newel stair has moulded strings, turned balusters, and carved finials on the newels, and the stair may have been re-set. There are remains of a 17th-century spiral stair from the first floor to the attic beside the stack, and a late 16th-century stone fireplace surround in a first-floor bedroom. The main roof features queen post trusses with clasped purlins, with some timbers sooted in the chimney bay, while the cross wing has collar trusses with redundant crown posts.
