Manor House

Manor House is a Grade II* listed house located on Lower Street in Leeds. It dates back to the 15th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. The building is timber-framed with plaster infilling, and the left end bay on the ground floor is constructed of roughly coursed galletted stone. It features a plain tile roof and is designed in the Wealden style, with an open hall consisting of two unequal bays, a storeyed bay to the right, and formerly also to the left. The house has two storeys and attics set on a plinth.

The right end bay is jettied, with the jetty returning along the right end on a plain dragon post. There is a rebated central hall post and a moulded flying wall-plate. A hollow-chamfered bracket connects the jettied first floor to the right end of the flying wall-plate, with a solid bracket beneath the central tie. The structure is close-studded and features a brattished fillet halfway up the first floor of the right end bay, which continues along the right end elevation. The roof is hipped to the right and has a gablet. A red brick stack is located on the front slope of the roof to the left end, in the smaller bay of the hall. There are two rear dormers.

The fenestration is irregular, with leaded casements. Notably, there is a four-light ovolo-moulded mullion window in the right end bay and a 15th-century two-storey rectangular bay window in the right bay of the hall. This bay window has moulded wood jambs, a single quatrefoil light on each side in solid side-pieces towards the bottom, and curved brackets underneath. There is a small blocked single-light opening on the first floor to the left end of the hall, featuring a cusped ogee head and mouchettes in the spandrels. Additionally, there is a two-light 15th-century stone window on the ground floor of the right end bay, which has a hollow-chamfered mullion, cusped lights, and a moulded hood-mould.

The right end elevation includes two small moulded pointed-arched lights, a two-light casement on the first floor, and a small blocked rectangular window with chamfered stone jambs on the ground floor. A ribbed door is located to the left end of the hall, sheltered by a shallow flat hood. There is also a 19th-century timber-framed lean-to on the left. The interior has not been inspected but is said to feature rich internal detailing.
