Description
Manor House Cottage is a building that was originally two cottages, now combined into one, dating from around 1700 and altered in the 20th century. It features painted rubble stone and brick construction, partly rendered, with a concrete tiled roof that was formerly thatched, and stone and brick stacks. The cottage is two stories high and has five windows.
The entrance consists of a planked door with a 2-light casement window under a flat wooden hood, located to the right in a 20th-century brick bay. There are two blocked openings in the center and two 2-light casements in the rendered left-hand bay, which was formerly timber-framed. On the first floor, there is a half-dormer gable with a 2-light casement to the left, a 2-light leaded casement to the right, and two 2-light cyma-mullioned casements in the center. The 20th-century bay has a wood mullioned casement that matches the two stone ones.
At the rear, the ground floor includes two half-glazed doors, a 6-pane sash window, French windows, and a 2-light casement. The first floor has a 4-light window, two 2-light casements, and a half-dormer gable with a casement to the right, along with a 19th-century single-storey wing to the right.
Inside, there is a chamfered beam with stepped stops and a large open fireplace at the east end, featuring a chamfered lintel with curved corners on chamfered stone jambs. The eastern two bays were originally timber-framed and retain part of one cross frame truss with square panels and curved bracing, while the roof has straight wind bracing. The cottage originated as a timber-framed structure and was rebuilt or extended to the west in rubble stone in the early 18th century, with the brick bay on the west end added in the early 20th century.
