Description
Manor Park is a former manor house that has been converted into a residential property. It dates from the late 15th century or early 16th century and consists of two bays. The building was refronted in brick during the 17th century, with a lobby entrance addition of two and a half bays added between 1650 and 1675. The windows were altered in the early to mid 19th century.
The house has one and a half storeys and features three windows on the front elevation, which is made of 17th century English bond brickwork that is now painted. It has a slate roof and an off-center brick chimneystack. There are three brick string courses and three gabled dormers with fretted bargeboards and triple casements. The ground floor includes three two-over-two pane sash windows set in reveals, along with a projecting one-storey entrance porch that is closed in and has a hipped tiled roof and a 16-pane sash window.
Inside, the cross wing features a queen strut roof with butt purlins, and the rafters are joined and teamed at the purlin. The parlour boasts finely moulded beams from the 17th century, which have stop-chamfered ends. The property is situated on a moated site.
