Old Manor House

The Old Manor House is a building with elements dating from the 16th century, 17th century, and around 1900, resulting from a series of extensions. The oldest part is now located in the south-east corner. The south-east facade showcases a four-gabled arrangement; the two gables on the south side are the oldest, standing two storeys high with an attic. The other two gables, located to the east and dating from around 1900, also have two floors. The roof is tiled, with decorative bands of tile hanging on the gables. On the ground floor of the two original bays are more recent projecting bays. Between these bays, the original walling shows closely arranged vertical timbers with herringbone brick infilling, characteristic of the 16th century. Above the first floor, a jettied section features a moulded board supporting an exposed timber frame (bricknogged) in a 17th-century style. Mullion and transom casement windows are present. The western of the two eastern gables retains old tile hanging at the top, while the walling is of red brick. A two-storeyed bay from around 1900 is attached to this gable, and the easternmost gable (also from around 1900) has a half-timbered frame with patterned red brick infilling and large mullion and transom lights. A modern timber-framed porch is centrally located. Inside the south corner, a dragon beam remains. Substantial rear extensions, dating from the late 19th century, are constructed with red tile roofing, brick dentil eaves, red brick walling, and casement windows; these have been converted into flats and a large house. The oldest part of the building was originally a farm.
