The Old Manor

The Old Manor is a house located on Barrow Road, dating from the early 17th century, with likely medieval origins. It features 18th-century extensions and underwent refenestration around 1900. The building is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble and has a gabled roof, with stone slates on the front and old tiles on the rear. The left end has a stone stack finished in brick with oversailing courses, while the original right end stack is made of brick and has three diagonally-set flues.

The house has a two-unit cross-wing plan, is one storey high with an attic, and has a three-window range. The gable end of the left cross wing features a double ovolo-moulded timber lintel above a four-light ovolo-moulded wood-mullioned window on the first floor, and an early 20th-century ground-floor window in a similar style. To the right, there is a two-window range with an ovolo-moulded lintel over a 20th-century door set in an ovolo-moulded architrave to the left, along with chamfered and 20th-century timber lintels over early 20th-century windows. There are also two small pointed medieval lancets to the left of the door and two 20th-century gabled dormers.

The left gable end has a 17th-century two-light ovolo-moulded wood-mullioned window, with another similar window at the rear. The other windows from around 1900 are styled similarly. The 18th-century extensions at the right end are at right angles to the front and rear, also made of uncoursed limestone rubble and topped with a gabled 20th-century tile roof.

Inside, the room to the right features a stop-chamfered beam and joists, a chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace, and a beer cupboard door with old strap hinges and a shelf. The first floor contains early and mid-18th-century fireplaces. In the cross wing, there is a chamfered stone fireplace and a 15th-century wave-moulded beam, along with a chamfered beam and a moulded stone fireplace on the first floor. The interior also includes attractive early 20th-century plank doors with large Norfolk latches.
