The Manor House

The Manor House is a former medieval stone manor house that was converted into stables when the larger mansion was built in the late 16th century. It has origins dating back to the 15th century and features from 1593, with additional alterations in the 17th century and late 20th century restoration to a dwelling. The walls are made of mixed flint and stone rubble, with stone and brick dressings from the 16th century and late 20th century. There is a weathered brick band at the first floor and a brick plinth band. The front elevation shows evidence of altered window placements, while the rear has a more complex arrangement of changes. The roof is plain tiled with coved eaves in brickwork and two late 20th century 'Tudor' chimney stacks. The building is rectangular with wings that project forward on each side. The southwest front has two storeys and features three windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor. The windows are casements set in 17th century stone mullioned frames on the first floor and mullioned and transomed frames on the ground floor, all with cement surrounds. There is a central four-centred arched doorway beneath a hood mould, and above it is a decorative stone feature made of patterned stone and dark flint, which includes the leaded letters and figures "1 1593 K" (for John Knight). The rear elevation has late 20th century casements within cambered arches and brick quoins. Attached to the north end is a single-storeyed entrance lobby from the 20th century, featuring a tiled roof, brick walls, and a plain doorway.
