Description
The Manor is a manor house that dates from the 16th and 17th centuries and was enlarged by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1867. The original structure is timber-framed with brick infill, while the 17th and 18th-century refronting is made of rubblestone. The addition by Scott features red brick with plum brick bands and stone dressings, topped with old tile roofs. The building has two storeys and an irregular southeast front with four bays, alongside a three-bay southwest or garden front.
On the southeast front, there are two gabled bays on the right made of rubblestone, and a brick gable on the left. The windows include three-light casements, with a two-light casement on the ground floor between them. The side and rear maintain timber framing with straight braces, and there is a large stack on the flank. The bays added by Scott include an entrance in the right bay, flanked by canted bay windows and a cross-mullion window above. The left bay and the left bay of the southwest front feature a gabled design with a two-storey canted bay window and a vent slit in the gable. The centre bay of the southwest front has an arched door with a cross-mullion window above, while the right bay contains three-light windows. All windows in the Scott block are of the stone mullioned and transomed type, with coped gables and diagonal flues to the stacks. There are four flues to the stack between the left bays of the southeast front and two flues to the one at the left of the southwest front, along with a further stack on the 17th-century bay.
Inside, the 16th-century right-hand bay features arch-braced roof trusses arranged in four bays, while the left-hand timber-framed bay has queen strut trusses. The roof added by Scott has a collar inscribed 'Robert Rose, Builder, Haddenham 1867'.
