Description
The Manor House is a manor house dating from the early 17th century, with internal remodelling in the late 19th century and early 20th-century additions on the east and north-west sides. It features rubble-stone and dressed stone walls with ashlar quoins, and has hipped roofs made of Roman tiles. The building has stone and brick stacks on the south ridge and a brick stack on the north-west wing. It stands two storeys tall with attics.
The entrance front has three windows, followed by a two-storey gabled porch located left of centre. The windows are mainly of the mullion-and-transom type, typically with four lights, and have separate labels above the ground floor windows. The iron casements are leaded. The porch entrance features a depressed-arch head with a separate label above it, leading to a plank door inside. The south elevation has five windows of the same mullion-and-transom style, with two-light windows above. There are 20th-century dormers added to both the north and south elevations. A depressed-arch doorway is centrally located on this wall, also with a separate label above. High on this wall is a small round dial dated 1608.
The interior has been completely remodelled in the late 19th century. The south-west room contains an overmantel made from 17th-century fragments of a former screen, as mentioned in Hutchins, featuring a frieze with fruit and swags. Similar fragments are found in the north-east room. Both rooms have panelled 17th-century doors with elaborate decorations above the doorways and scrolled cresting. Additionally, a fragment of early 16th-century glass featuring a red rose and several 14th-century slip-tiles, including shields of arms of Bryan, were discovered near the house.
