‘(3) Manor Cottage (100 yds. W.) has walls of coursed rubble and thatched roof; it was built in the late 16th century with one storey and attic, and was later heightened to two full storeys.

The plan has a main range of three rooms with a through passage and a staircase in a small curved projection against the back wing. The windows have hollow-chamfered stone frames and mullions, and some have labels. The central room, with its chimney backing onto the passage, has the ceiling divided into panels by intersecting beams. The E. room has been reduced in size by the insertion of a new entrance doorway, hall and staircase.’
