Full description

R1, House of two storeys, cellar and attics, clunch walls with some later brick, limestone plinth-weathering, tiled roof with gable parapets, is probably early to mid C14 in origin. Direct documentary references to the site or its buildings have not been found, but the surviving range can be identified as lodgings probably forming part of a large domestic group which stood to the N and E. The range included three ground floor and three first floor apartments, each provided with a garderobe; the two N rooms had fireplaces. The S ground floor room, and possibly that above it, appears to have had a different use from the others. Accommodation extended to the attics which had dormer windows. In the C18, buttresses were removed from the main, or W, elevation, and the building generally received new windows and dormers; inside, the N ground floor room was panelled. The central and S chimney stacks in their present form are C18, as is an extension to the garderobe turret. The Mod conversion of the house into two dwellings resulted in the addition of new doorways and internal partitions. During the C18 and C19 the house was known as 'The Old Manor House' or 'Isaacson's' during its ownership by the family of that name. Grade 2.
