The Old Manor House, also known as Nell Gywnne's House, is a historic building in the Clifton area of York in England. Two timber-framed tenement buildings, each of two storeys, were built on the site at some point between the 14th and 16th centuries. In the late 17th century, it was largely rebuilt in brick, in the artisan mannerist style. The rebuilding may have been due to damage during the Siege of York. A local legend claims that, when Charles II of England visited York, Nell Gwynne stayed in the house.By the 19th century, the building housed working-class families in rooms which had been subdivided. At the start of the 20th century, the eastern part of the building was a tobacconist and barbers shop. In the 1930s, the building was converted into a single house, and the roof was entirely replaced. The house was grade II* listed in 1954. In 1962, it was restored and partly rebuilt, the new work include the south-east wall and the window openings in the rear wall. The York Civic Trust purchased the building in 1985, but sold it as a private house in the early 21st century. In 2020, the house was placed on the market for £1.29 million.The building is two storeys high, with an attic above. There are two main gables on the front to the street named Clifton, and to their left, a smaller gable over the porch.
