Description
The Old Manor House is a 17th-century building constructed of coursed rubble stone with long and short dressed stone quoins, featuring two distinct builds. The roof is stone tiled on the northeast side and machine tiled on the southwest, gabled at the northwest end and half hipped to the northeast. There is a northwest end stack and a brick ridge stack. Originally, the structure consisted of two three-bay ranges, but it has been modified into a two-storey, six-window southwest range, which includes three stone diamonds in the northwest section.
The windows on the southwest front have been entirely altered since the building was last listed. The upper openings, except for a loft door, were originally 17th-century four-light mullioned and transomed windows, but these have been replaced by modern two-light top-lit wood casements. A large double two-light window to the left of the modern door has replaced an eight-light 19th-century mullioned and transomed window, along with a plank door that had a rectangular fanlight. Additionally, a tall three-light casement has been replaced by another modern two-light top-lit casement. Despite these changes, the building still retains enough character to be considered worthy of listing, particularly given its prominent location in the village center.
