The Manor House, And The Old Manor

The Manor House and The Old Manor is a house with multiple phases of construction, now divided into two dwellings. It dates from the 17th century, 18th century, and early to late 19th century. The oldest section features walls made of rubble malmstone with a high plinth, while the east side has an early 19th-century brick parapet and brick quoins. The west wall is constructed of malmstone ashlar in three phases, with brick dressings, and the east wall is made of brickwork in English bond, complete with a first-floor band and a stepped plinth.

The middle section of the building displays late Tudor characteristics, including very thick walls, some substantial timber framing, and a large chimney breast. This section extends into a long north-south block from the 17th and 18th centuries, presenting a regular west front of two storeys and an attic with five windows, topped by a steep slate roof. The windows are 18th-century and early 19th-century sashes, and there is a half-octagonal malmstone porch.

The northern part of the house is an early 19th-century addition, set at a slight angle, with yellow brick walls in Flemish bond, rubbed flat arches, a plinth, and stone cills. It features a low-pitched hipped slate roof with a deep dentilled cornice. The main east facade is symmetrical, with two storeys and five windows, where the sashes are set in reveals, and the ground-floor windows extend to floor level, previously opening onto a verandah. The north end of this section is a half-hexagon that continues the architectural style.

The west side of the northern unit has been remodelled in the late 19th century, presenting an irregular plan with similar walling and casement windows. The doorway is a reused early 19th-century case, featuring an open pediment on carved brackets, an arched opening with a fanlight, and a six-panelled door. Inside, the northern unit contains a suite of elegant rooms with moulded dados and marble fireplaces.
