Manor House And 2 Barns Attached To South East Corner

This is a manor house dating to the 16th century, with alterations made subsequently. It is constructed primarily of red brick, with some areas featuring diapering using blue headers. A moulded stone and brick plinth runs around the base, and the corners are defined by stone quoins. The roof is now tiled, and features external brick chimney stacks with rectangular shafts and stone quoins to the centres of the rear and northwest side.

The house follows an H-shaped plan. The northeast front has projecting gabled bays on either side, with altered 20th-century wooden casements in segmental heads. The right bay contains a three-light window on the ground floor, while the left bay has a two-light window. The attic windows are paired, with the left one being leaded and the right one partially leaded. The west return wall of the left bay has paired leaded casements on the ground floor, and two small openings with stone surrounds above, one of which is blocked. The return wall of the right bay has blocked windows, one with a bonded stone surround to the ground floor. The central section has a transomed four-light casement on the ground floor, and two leaded windows on the first floor. The window to the left is a 16th-century two-light stone mullioned window with arched lights, while the one to the right is a 17th-century moulded cross window. A 15th to early 16th century doorway is set in a four-centred moulded arch with carved spandrels, and a flat hoodmould. A similar doorway to the right is a 19th-century copy. A 16th-century moulded stone panel bearing the arms of New College, Oxford, sits above the left door. The rear elevation is partially rendered and features three leaded cross windows in surrounds of chamfered brick. 19th and early 20th-century single-story extensions have been added to the south ends of the side wings.

Inside, the west wing has a 16th-century stone arched fireplace with carved spandrels in a ground floor front room, and a 17th-century staircase with turned balusters, a moulded string, and a handrail. The original hall in the central section retains 16th-century moulded cross beams and dressed stone jambs to the fireplace.

Attached to the southeast corner of the house are two barns, dating to the 17th and early 18th centuries. They have blackened brick plinths, weatherboard cladding on a timber frame, and half-hipped thatched roofs. The larger barn to the right is two stories high and two bays wide. The left bay has a stable door and window, while the right bay has garage doors, a boarded service door next to the house, a small barred casement, and a hayloft door above. The roof contains braced tie beams, queen struts, and large curved windbraces. The lower barn, set back to the left, is similar but slightly later.
