The Old Manor House

The Old Manor House is a late 17th and early 18th century farmhouse, now a house, located in Kings End, Bicester. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone and coursed rubble, with wooden lintels over openings, and has a plain-tile roof with brick end stacks. The building follows a “T” plan, incorporating a subsidiary range.

The main front of the principal range is symmetrical, with five windows. It features a deep plaster eaves cove and 4-pane sash windows dating to the 19th century. The ground-floor windows have stop-chamfered lintels. A central 4-panel door is topped by a rectangular overlight and sheltered by a slated wooden porch with flanking settles. The roof has brick stacks, one rising from a large chimney projection, and includes two gabled dormers.

The subsidiary range to the right is a separate build and has 3-light casements with stop-chamfered lintels. Some of the casements have leaded glazing. The two-window rear wing includes leaded 2-light casements and a plank door. The rear of the main range is entirely of rubble and displays no vertical joint line. The interior has not been inspected.
