The Manor House

The Manor House is a detached house likely dating from the late 15th century, with significant alterations in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of local lias stone with squared dressings, Ham stone detailing, and plain clay tile roofs over stone slate base courses. Brick chimney stacks are also present.

The house has a complex plan. The north elevation is two storeys high and comprises six bays, with bays 2 and 6 as gabled projecting wings and bay 4 a single-storey lean-to porch. Most windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned, with two or three lights and square labels. However, the lower bays 5 and 6 feature early 18th-century segmental arched architraved openings; bay 5 has a 12-pane sash window and bay 6 has French doors. The porch has a semi-circular arch with a keystone and moulded imposts, leading to an early boarded door. A boarded door and two 3-light mullioned windows are visible on the gable wall of bay 2, with stone stairs leading to first-floor level on the east return. Bay 1 includes an outshut and a moulded doorway with a flat arch. The east gable has further mullioned windows, one blocked, and a small square attic window.

The south elevation extends over five bays, with bays 1 to 3 representing an early 19th-century remodelling featuring 16-pane sash windows in plain openings under stone lintels. An open porch, of non-classical design, is located in bay 2. The bays are marked by end pilasters. A moulded cambered arched doorway is positioned between bays 3 and 4, while bays 4 and 5 contain 3-light chamfer mullioned windows with flat head lights below and 4-centre arched lights with incised spandrils above, all with labels.

Originally a cross-passage plan, the interior now modified, features moulded cambered arched fireplaces, 18th-century fielded panelling in the main inner room, and two staircases: one within a turret and the other a spiral staircase within a gable. The roof was replaced around 1800. Some early 16th-century stained glass from the Church is incorporated within the house. The property, formerly known as Sutton Valence Manor, was recorded by 1538.
