Manor House Antiques The Manor House

The Manor House, now occupied by Manor House Antiques, is a timber-framed house dating to the late 16th or early 17th century. It was largely refaced in the late 19th or early 20th century and given a “Jacobean” appearance with applied timbers. The front of the house is rendered and colourwashed, with the applied timbers appearing authentic. It is three storeys high, featuring an oversailing second floor, three gables, and a larger gable to the left containing an attic. The building has three two-storey bay windows with six-light wood casements, and a four-light oriel window beneath a small projecting gable on the left. The roof is covered with patterned tiles.

The interior of The Manor House retains many original exposed timbers. A particularly notable feature is an original door surround on the ground floor, to the left-hand room, which includes a carved trefoil spandrel and moulded, stopped jambs. The original spiral newel stair, featuring cut balusters, is located on the third-floor landing within a square gabled stair tower. A stone surround with a four-centred arch frames the fireplace on the first floor. In contrast, the interior of Manor House Antiques is lined with modern panelling, concealing any original framing.
