Full Description
Manor house now farmhouse. Early and late C16, C18 and C19. Squared coursed limestone with stone slate roof. Originally hall plan now double depth. 2 storeys with attic. Main front is a 3-window range of C19 sash windows, at first floor, under wood lintels. Flanking canted wooden bay windows, at ground floor, have French windows. Central 6-panel part-glazed door, has C19, flat-roofed, ashlar porch. 3 hipped roof dormers with casement windows. Ashlar gable parapets and ashlar end stack. Elevation to right is a 2-window range, with a 2-light stone mullion window to right and casements with glazing bars to left. Large lateral ashlar stack, to rear of front range, is to left of this elevation. This range probably incorporates C16 work. Elevation to left of main front is a C19 two-window range of casement windows. Interior not inspected but central passage noted as having C16 doorway with chamfered jambs and 2 C16 doorways with triangular heads. The manor was acquired by Thomas Lord Cromwell in 1538. It then passed to the Brudenells of Deene who almost entirely rebuilt the house in 1599. The main front was added in C18 and the rear range altered C19.
