Description

Manor House is a late 16th-century building with an early 19th-century wing along the south front. It was refurbished between 1963 and 1965. The 16th-century parts of the building have a ground floor rebuilt in brick, with a timber frame and rendered infill above. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The house is two storeys and an attic in height, with five bays. It has large 20th-century casement windows, some barred, with 2 to 5 lights, and three gabled dormers with 3-light casements. A lower bay, possibly from the 17th century, projects to the right and has slightly different timbers, similar 20th-century wooden casements, and a door within a recessed porch. A 20th-century brick outbuilding projects from the gable. To the right of the south front of the 16th-century wing is an overhanging roughcast attic storey with an overhanging gable, both jetties having a coved dogtooth moulding in roughcast. The early 19th-century wing along the south front is roughcast, has flat eaves, and a hipped plain tile roof. It has two storeys and seven bays, with 2-pane sashes to the ground floor and 3-pane sashes to the first floor, all within boxed frames. A central six-panelled door has a rectangular fanlight, a shouldered wooden architrave frame, and a moulded pediment on carved scroll brackets. Above the door is a 20th-century rendered cartouche dated 1565 and 1965. A small west wing, altered and raised in the 20th century, has a semi-circular projection. Inside, the fine early 17th-century staircase has an arcaded balustrade, a heavily moulded handrail, a moulded string, and square newels. The 16th-century part of the house has a roof with double purlins, arched wind-braces, and heavy vertical struts supporting the centre of each collar. A room to the right of the early 19th-century block has a plaster frieze depicting a continuous bundle of lictor's rods.
