Description
Manor House is a house dating from the 16th century, originally timber framed and later encased in brick during the 18th century. It features an old tiled roof and stands two storeys high. The front has a modern gabled porch at the center and two modern casement windows on each floor. The wallplate on the front elevation shows mortices for wall posts and window mullions. There is a brick chimney stack made of old thin bricks at the west end, with a modern stack at the east end.
Inside, the ground floor has a large central cross beam along with chamfered spine beams and chamfered joists in the western room. On the first floor, there is a cambered tie beam with an arch-braced collar in the roof space, and all main timbers are chamfered on the east side. The roof also features curved wind braces to the purlins and old rafters. The house may have originally been part of a larger structure, possibly a cross wing.
