5 Sutton Bingham Manor A manor was recorded on the site in the Domesday Book, where a later Tudor building was burned down before being replaced by the current house in Sutton Bingham Manor is a Grade II listed Jacobean Manor House built of local cut stone with Ham stone dressings under a predominantly clay tiled roof, which has been extended sympathetically later in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The house has a light and airy feel as many of the rooms have windows on two sides and also has great charm with many original and attractive period features including oak panelling and flooring and open fireplaces with cut stone surrounds in many rooms. On the ground floor the front door opens to the oak-panelled entrance hall, which has a striking Arts and Crafts staircase rising to the galleried landing and a door to the oak panelled drawing room, which has French windows opening on to a terrace.
