Description
The Old Manor is a house that originated in the 15th century with an open hall core, featuring a crosswing from the 16th century and a parlour from the 17th century, all encased in brick from the 18th century. Later additions include 18th-century bays and a 19th-century rear wing. The building has a timber frame that is encased in brick, with some sections displaying chequer work, and it has an old plain tile roof.
On the right side, there is a 1½ storey, 2 bay section from the 15th century, accompanied by a 16th-century wing and a dairy at the rear. To the left, the 17th-century part is 2 storeys high with 2 bays, and further left are the 18th-century bays with 19th-century additions behind. The right bays feature an 18th-century 16-pane sash window with a segmental head, while a similar window has been replaced by a 19th-century casement. There is a first-floor string course and two 2-light hip-roofed dormers on the roof.
To the left, there is a 2 storey flat-roofed porch made of purple brick, which includes a 16-pane segmental headed sash window and a single light above, along with a 19th-century flush panel door on the left side. In the left 17th-century bay, there is a tall 12-pane segmental head sash window, a first-floor string course, and a wide 12-pane sash window. In the left bays, a door has been replaced by a low-silled 8-pane sash window with a rubbed brick head, and there is a 20th-century sash window above it. To the left, there is a rectangular flat-roofed bay with two 12-pane sashes in front and a 12-pane sash window with a rubbed brick head above. The ridges of the roof rise to three different heights towards the left, with stacks located behind the ridge to the right, positioned between the 15th and 17th-century parts and at the left end.
