Description
Harton Manor is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 17th century with late 17th-century brick additions and later alterations. The building features a brick wing with brick bands at the gable ends set on a rubble plinth, and a painted timber-framed wing with painted brick infill panels and a painted rendered and rubble stone gable end. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and slate. A projecting stepped brick chimney is located at the east eaves, featuring a profiled brick upper shaft, while a large brick stack at the ridge of the framed wing has three star-shaped brick shafts with restored caps. The original layout is L-shaped with a parallel wing added.
The exterior is two storeys with an attic. The west front has a projecting gable end of the framed wing to the left, which is now cement rendered and covered at the lower level by a later lean-to extension. To the right is the brick wing, with the first floor rendered and both floors painted, fitted with three-light casements on each floor. The north side features a side wall-frame of close-studded framing with a large central framed dormer that has decorative star-shaped bracing in the gable truss, and three-light leaded casements on both floors. To the left is the projecting brick gable of the brick wing, which has two 19th-century wood mullion and transom windows in brick segmental-arched openings on both storeys, as well as a single 20th-century two-light attic casement.
On the east side of the brick wing, there is a single two-light casement at each floor and a projecting stack to the right. The south side mirrors the north gable end with a brick gable-end to the right, while to the left is a projecting stone rubble gable. The right return side has an upper storey of square framing three panels high over a lower stone wall that incorporates a three-light casement.
Inside, there is a dog-leg stair in the brick wing with twisted balusters, a carved handrail, and a closed string. The kitchen features a fireplace with a double ovolo moulded mantelbeam and moulded ashlar flanking walls. An inscription on the stone over the kitchen fireplace and in the upper room reads "1615 R.W. C.A.W.", which likely refers to Richard Ward, the probable builder of the house.
