The Old Manor

House. The origins of the building date to the late 15th century, with alterations and additions made in the 17th century. It is constructed of colour-painted rendered stone rubble and cob, with a thatched roof to gable ends. The building has a complex plan, with the earliest section displaying evidence of a former open hall, visible in the central part with gable ends to the front and rear. 17th-century alterations included the addition of a stack topped with a tapered cap and a drip heightened in brick, and likely the left-hand bay with a brick stack at the gable end. A right-side range may also date from this period and forms a separate single-cell wing with 2-storey outshuts to the rear, one section with a corrugated asbestos roof and another with a slate roof. This range is parallel to the original core and has a gable end fronting the street, connected to it by a porch which houses a wide entrance hall behind, containing the staircase.

The building has a 3-window range of 3-light casements; one side has 8 panes per light on each floor. The gables have 2 panes per light. A pedimented porch features a 6-panelled door, with the upper two panels glazed, flanked by a 3-light window of 8 panes to the left and a 4-light casement of 2 panes to the right. A slate sundial is situated between the left and centre windows. A 3-light timber ovolo mullion window is visible at the rear of the staircase landing and a 17th-century 2-light timber window on the east side of the right-hand range.

The three principal ground floor rooms retain stop-chamfered beams and some early joinery. A chamber in the central section has a fine waggon roof with three moulded ribs resting on an ornately carved crenellated wall plate, with carved bosses marking the intersection of the ribs with the single tier of purlins and ridge purlin. The waggon roof does not extend the full length of the central section; towards the stack end a lath and plaster partition reveals a closed, raised cruck truss, with heavier blades than the arch-braced collar rafter couples supporting the ceiled portion. Both sides of the truss are heavily smoke-blackened. A west wing was demolished in the late 19th century.
