Description

The Manor House is a house dating from the 16th century, with a cross wing added in the late 17th or early 18th century and later 19th-century extensions to the rear. It is timber framed and clad in red and blue brick on the right-hand side, with brown and red brick on the cross wing. The roof is tiled, with eaves courses of Horsham slabs to the right. The building has an L-shaped plan, comprising a parallel range across the rear and a projecting wing to the left.

The house is two storeys high with an attic in the cross wing, which features a leaded casement attic window beneath a diagonal brick plaque. A plat band runs over the first and ground floors of the cross wing. There is a square stack to the rear at the junction with the wing, and an end ridge stack to the right. The cross wing has two two-light leaded casement windows on each floor, with brick heads above, and three leaded casement windows on the first floor to the right. A half-glazed door sits within an archway, sheltered by a hipped hood in the re-entrant angle between the main house and the wing. A single-storey extension to the left has a decorated stack under an oversailing top, and a large five-light leaded casement window in a stone surround to the front.

The right-hand return front has a tiled gable end with two further gables set back to the right. The rear elevation has fishscale tile hanging on the first floor and a diagonal brick course over the ground floor. The left-hand return front is long, with fishscale tile hanging and bands on the first floor, and includes three multiple stacks, one with an oversailing gable to the left. Leaded casement windows are present, including a through-eaves dormer window. A further glazed entrance is sheltered by a wide, boarded gabled porch on wooden supports.

The interior reveals visible timber framing in partition walls and ceilings. There are stone floors and two arched oak door cases to the left. The Manor House stands on a moated site and formerly served as the village Court House.
