16/80 The Manor House and attached 26/11/51 outbuilding range (Formerly listed as Manor House Farmhouse)

GV II

Manor house and outbuilding. Late medieval and C16/C17. Coursed limestone rubble with some ashlar dressings; Stonesfield-slate and artificial stone-slate roofs with rebuilt brick stacks. L-plan. 2 storeys plus attics and 2 storeys. Main range has an irregular front facing a courtyard with two renewed 3-light casements at first floor and, at ground floor, continuous lintels over a doorway plus casements of 2, 3 and 4 lights, probably re-arranged. Lower wing projecting from left contains the entrance in a lean-to porch, and has a 3-light casement to each floor. Gables of main range have stone parapets with scroll kneelers and, to left, a stone finial. Rear of main range has 4 casements at first floor, and a stone corbel carrying a renewed diagonally-set lateral stack. Garden front, to left, has a tall semi-octagonal stair turret with small stone windows; the left gable wall of the main range (which the tower partly obscures) has sashes, some with keyblock flat arches. Stacks at ends of "L" each have 2 diagonal shafts. A low link connects to a 2-storey 5-window outbuilding range, probably C17, parallel with the main range and partly forming the third side of the courtyard; it retains unglazed wood-mullion windows to both floors on both sides. Interior: main entrance in lower wing has a moulded oak doorframe leading to a through passage, forming part of a 3-bay room with intersecting moulded medieval beams and matching wallplates; the Tudor-arched moulded stone fireplace is re-set. The chamber above is said to have an arched truss. Formerly dated 1563. Outbuilding has a butt-purlin roof with raking struts to the trusses, and has a heavy first-floor structure; it has been known as a malthouse. The earlier range of the house is possibly the chamber block to a hall formerly on the site of the main range. (V.C.H.: Oxfordshire, Vol.VI, p.220).
