Maltravers Manor House And Old Manor Cottage

Maltravers Manor House and Old Manor Cottage is a house dating from the mid to late 16th century, with an extension added to the rear left in the early to mid 17th century. The front is roughcast over the original timber frame, while the square framing is exposed at the rear right. The left side wing also features exposed square framing but is mainly weatherboarded. The front has a Welsh slate roof, the rear right side has an old tile roof, and the left wing is covered with stone slate. There are brick stacks, including a left end stack made of uncoursed sarsen rubble with chalk quoins and bands, topped with 18th-century brick.

The building is L-shaped, with a through-passage next to the ridge stack of the right wing. It is 1.5 stories tall and has a four-window range. There is a bracketed flat hood over an early 19th-century six-panelled door. The ground floor features early 19th-century canted five-light windows, while the first floor has two similar three and four-light windows. The right gable wall has a canted five-light leaded casement, and there are three-light leaded casements and four-light casements in late 19th-century dormers. The left side wall has a three-window range with irregular fenestration, including 20th-century casements, one late 19th-century three-light casement, a two-light leaded casement, and an 18th-century six-light leaded casement with a king-mullion. The rear has three-light leaded casements.

The front features a jettied and gabled wall to the left, adjacent to the gabled front wall of the left wing, which has a gabled roof with end and ridge stacks. Inside, there are chamfered beams and a stone flag floor. The rear left room contains an 18th-century range with a pot-bar and oven, along with mid to late 17th-century panelling on the right side of the room. There are quarter-turn and straight-flight stairs in the rear right and centre of the left wing, as well as a spiral staircase with mid-18th-century turned balusters next to the centre stack of the front range. The rear left wing does not have a visible truss, but the front wing features arch-braced collar-trusses with butt purlins and windbraces.
