SP4635 ADDERBURY MANOR ROAD (South side) Adderbury West 6/81 Little Manor and attached 08/12/55 garden wall (Formerly listed as Little Manor, Bloxham Road)
GV II Substantial house, possibly a manor house. Probably early C17 or earlier, extended late C17, C19 and C20. Coursed squared marlstone with wooden lintels; Stonesfield-slate and plain-tile roofs with stone-and-brick stacks. 2-unit plan extended to 3 units with added rear wings. 2 storeys plus attic, 2 bays to right of 4-window front are earlier and have a low chamfered plinth; right bay has renewed casements, but left bay retains 2-light leaded casements to both floors. Added left unit of range has a higher plinth and has two leaded 2-light casements at each floor and a doorway adjoining the older section. Roof has gable parapets with moulded projecting kneelers, stone-based stacks to right of centre and to both gables, and has 3 small 2-light roof dormers. C19 and C20 wings return from both ends of the range: the right wing in stone with gable parapets; the left in painted brick. Interior: central room has 2 cross beams with heavy chamfers and stops, and has an open fireplace with chamfered bressumer; room above has intersecting stop-chamfered beams forming six ceiling sections and has a chamber fireplace. Earlier section of roof has a diagonal ridge beam and stop-chamfered butt purlins, possibly re-used. A gateway and a short length of wall to right of the house link to a C17/early C18 section of the boundary wall on Horn Hill Road which extends from a C20 gable to approximately 60 metres to south. The rubble wall, approximately 2 metres high has a stone-and-cement coping, and incorporates a re-set pointed-arched doorway in a chamfered stone surround with bar stops which may be medieval; the plank door has ancient reused hinges. Reputed to have been the manor house of the manor held by the Doyley family. (VCH: Oxfordshire: Vol IX, p12)
