Manor House Antiques Manor House Cottage

This house, now divided into Manor House Antiques and a cottage, has a core dating to the mid-16th century, with a refronting from around 1650, and 20th-century extensions to the rear. The main structure is timber-framed and clad in red and blue chequerwork brick to the left and right of the centre, and brown Flemish bond brick to the centre. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles. The facade is E-shaped, with projecting bays at each end and in the centre.

The house is two storeys high, with a substantial stack to the centre right and a front stack in the re-entrant angle of the left wing. It features a plinth, plat bands over the ground floor and to eaves, and to the edges of the Dutch gables over the projecting bays. The windows are wood-framed with diamond-leaded panes, with a three-light window on the first floor to each wing, and a single two-light window centrally, under a shouldered head. There is a single first-floor window on either side of the centre, under the eaves within recessed bays. The ground floor follows a similar arrangement, although the windows to either side of the centre are set beneath double-shouldered heads. A ground-floor window in the right-hand wing has been converted into a half-glazed door, with flanking lights. There is a chamfered-arch entrance on the ground floor centre, sheltered by a gable/pediment on a plat band, leading to a six-panelled door. The frame of the original house is exposed to the left of the door.

The left-hand return front has brick cladding to the right and exposed timber framing of thin scantling to the left, with brick infilling. The rear features two gabled wings and a pentice roof extension. Inside, some timber framing is visible, including a large cambered tie beam in a first-floor room on the left of the house.
