Description
Manor Cottage is a cottage dating from the mid to late 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber-framed and faced in red brick, featuring lower courses in random bond and Flemish bond above. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has gabled and half-hipped ends, with end stacks that have brick shafts. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a two-room front range, while the left-hand wing behind the right room appears to be of a different build, either constructed earlier or later and then faced in brick. There is an early 19th-century outshut behind the left room. The cottage is one storey with an attic and has two windows on the east front, featuring early 20th-century two and three-light casements, with attic windows in small hipped dormers above the eaves. The doorway is to the right and leads into a 20th-century conservatory-porch. A large 20th-century raking brick buttress is located at the center of the front. The roof at the rear extends down as a catslide over the brick outshut, and there is a lower rear wing with a half-hipped roof, which includes 20th-century metal-frame casements and a hipped dormer on the north side.
Inside, there is an exposed timber-framed partition between the two rooms in the front range, with a tie on a jowled wall-post at the back. Both rooms have thin chamfered beams with convex stops, with the left room featuring a large fireplace that has a chamfered timber lintel, where the chamfer runs into the jambs, and a brick-lined oven. The right-hand room has a simple 19th-century chimneypiece and a winder staircase in the rear corner against the partition. The rear wing contains a large chamfered axial beam with run-out stops, and the roof space is ceiled.
