Description
Manor House is a house dated 1634 on the porch at the rear, though it may be a remodelling of an earlier structure. It is built of rubble with freestone dressings and features a Cotswold stone slate roof, with double Roman tiles at the rear and coped raised verges. The house has an asymmetrical L plan and is two storeys high with attics in hipped dormers. The taller gabled cross wing to the left has two storeys, a basement, and attics in a steep stone gable. The High Street elevation includes two windows and a door to the right, and a single window to the left, all of which are three-light casements with ovolo and ogee moulded mullions and surrounds under drip moulds, with relieving arches over the left windows. The central door on the right part is a six-panel door beneath a flat stone hood on brackets.
At the rear, the cross wing features a projecting one-storey gabled porch with an ovolo moulded doorcase and a four-centred arch lintel. The spandrels display shields with "H/GI" (Hungerford) and "16/34". The inner door is a plank studded door with strap hinges and a four-centred arch lintel. There is also a single-storey service wing to the left.
Inside, there are stop-chamfered beams. The dining room on the east side is an early to mid-18th century panelled room with a bolection moulded fireplace. The study, located on the first floor of the cross wing, is a 17th-century panelled room featuring a moulded fireplace with a four-centred arch lintel and a coarsely carved Jacobean overmantel that bears the Hungerford arms, along with caryatids and atlants. The adjoining drawing room contains fragments of 17th-century panelling, an ashlar fireplace with a four-centred arch lintel and a pulvinated frieze on consoles. There are three plank doors on the east side of this room, one leading to a lobby and two, with a decorative frieze above, leading to the staircase, all with ovolo moulded surrounds. The altered winder stair has twisted balusters, and there are plain chamfered ashlar fireplaces with four-centred arch lintels in two main bedrooms.
