The Manor

The Manor is a manor house, dating from the 15th century, with substantial alterations in the mid-17th century and a late 18th-century refenestration and additions. It is constructed of rubble stone with a tiled roof and brick stacks. The building is laid out in an 'L' shape, comprising a main hall with a cross wing extending to the south. The front elevation is two storeys high with four windows. A six-panelled door, set within a moulded architrave and topped by a flat wooden hood supported on chamfered posts, is located to the right of the hall. To the left of the door are a pair of 16-pane sash windows and one three-light recessed mullioned casement. The first floor has two three-light mullioned casements. The slightly projecting cross wing to the right features two 12-pane sashes within beaded architraves on both the ground and first floors. The attic gable has a round-arched beaded architrave with a keystone and impost, framing a fixed window. The right return side has a large external stack to the left and a 19th-century casement to the right. The first floor of this return has two casements and a small 15th-century square headed arched light to the left. The rear of the main range has a planked door within a beaded case, alongside a two-light mullioned casement on the ground floor. Two further two-light mullioned casements are at first-floor level. An 18th-century stair extension to the left has a recessed chamfered mullioned casement to the basement, a pair of beaded mullioned sashes to the ground and first floors, and a two-light beaded mullioned casement to the attic. The return of this extension has a large external stack, a beaded cross window, and a single beaded light. The rear of the cross wing, refenestrated in the 18th century, has a tripartite sash within a beaded architrave and two 19th-century casements to the first floor. A single-storey scullery, attached to the left return, has a four-light casement. The interior features deeply chamfered beams in the hall and a 15th-century Tudor-arched stone doorway with carved spandrels, which leads to a door of oak, giving access to the cross wing, possibly a former solar to the south. Flagstone floors are found throughout the ground floor rooms. A late 18th-century open well staircase to the rear has two turned balusters per tread, shaped cheeks, and turned newels.
