Description
The Old Manor House is a detached house located on Codford High Street, dating from the late 17th century and restored in 1947. It features a combination of banded rubble stone and dressed limestone, topped with a thatched roof that has coped verges and a brick stack. The house is single-storey with an attic and cellar.
On the front, there is a blocked doorway to the left, a three-light mullioned casement to the left, and two three-light mullioned casements to the right, all of which are 20th-century replacements. A two-light blocked mullioned window is present in the cellar. The roof has four brick eyebrow dormers, each with two-light leaded casements.
The right side of the house has two small chamfered lights on the ground floor and a two-light mullioned casement in the attic. At the rear, there is a 20th-century chamfered doorway located to the right of centre, with a three-light mullioned casement to the right and two two-light mullioned casements to the left, along with a single-light window for the stairs and three brick eyebrow dormers featuring two-light casements.
The interior was not accessible during the survey in March 1987, but it is reported to contain a chamfered cross-beam ceiling, open fireplaces, and a plaster ceiling with crests.
