Description
Numbers 1 and 2, known as The Old Manor House, is a building dated 1656, which is a recasting of a much older house believed to incorporate remains of a 15th-century hall. The structure has two storeys and is built of coursed rubble with a steeply pitched stone slate roof. The left-hand gable features a renewed chimney with moulded capping. On the first floor, there are two four-light mullion windows with drips, and a central datestone panel that displays a carved axe and the date "BIS.1656."
The ground floor has been altered to accommodate a late 19th or early 20th-century shop front. It features a central entrance flanked by windows, with the house door located to the right, all under a drip. The entrance is supported by brick piers and quoins, and the fascia has moulded stops to chamfers and a rough stone finish. The gable end to the east shows a bressumer end.
Inside, there is a large Tudor arch fireplace on the ground floor and a smaller one on the first floor, both dating from the mid-17th century. The first floor also features a moulded plank and muntin partition, and a cariole stair is located to the right of the ground floor fireplace.
