Description

Old Manor is a house built around 1735 for Robert Bouchier, a Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford. It is constructed of squared and coursed limestone with a gabled artificial stone slate roof, featuring brick end stacks and a gabled projection to the stone lateral stack on the right. The building has an L-plan with a rear right wing and is two storeys high with a two-window range. There are keyed flat stone arches over late 19th century six-pane sash windows and a 20th-century window. A half-dormer with a 20th-century window has a moulded wood cornice above a hipped roof. The rear wing is one storey with an attic and a hipped roof. To the left, there is a six-panelled door set in a moulded wood architrave with a raised and keyed stone architrave and a 20th-century hood above. A gabled dormer above has a keyed flat stone arch over a stair light, which has been renewed to a semi-circular arch over a 19th-century window with glazing bars.

Inside, all rooms are panelled and have panelled doors. The ground and first-floor rooms to the left feature bolection-moulded overmantels above stone fireplaces with imposts. The room at the rear has a marble fireplace, a moulded and dentilled plaster cornice, and painted shell heads in niches. The fine dog-leg staircase with a landing has turned balusters set on a closed string and ball finials on the newels.
