Description
Old Manor Cottages is a former manor house dating from the mid-17th century. It is two storeys high with an attic and has an irregular L-shaped plan. The building is constructed of quality cut ashlar stone and features tiled roofs. It has a chamfered plinth and gables with saddlestones, which include blind rusticated bulls-eye panels, a characteristic local feature. The cottage has mullion windows with three and four lights, each with drips positioned below the gables. There is a Tudor arch doorway located to the left of the angle with the north-west wing, topped with a cornice. To the right of the doorway, there is a range of arched windows, also with drips. Extensions are present to both the left and right, with the right extension being half-hipped.
The rear of the building is irregular, featuring a doorway that is now a window, aligned with the front door. There is a gable that rises from the wall face to the left of the center, along with two single-light windows to the right of the center. Inside, the north-east wing contains a large inglenook fireplace on the ground floor, complete with a cambered timber lintel.
