Kinton Manor

Kinton Manor is a house, likely dating from the 15th century, with a later 16th-century addition and partial rebuilding in the mid-19th century. The construction is timber framed, utilizing cruck construction with painted brick nogging. Portions have been rebuilt or refaced using painted dressed sandstone and brick. The roof is slate, with areas that are graded.

The 16th-century wing features closely spaced studs, short angle braces, and a jettied gable with brackets, as well as a collar and tie-beam truss with studs and V-struts. Originally a hall house of three framed bays, it incorporates a later projecting wing at the centre and 19th-century additions or rebuildings to the left and right. The house has two storeys and features brick ridge stacks positioned off-centre to the left and right, and an external brick lateral stack to the front on the left. The front elevation has three windows, with 2- and 3-light casements; the ground-floor windows on the left are arched. A late 19th-century timber-framed lean-to porch is situated in the angle of the wing on the right, featuring a single-light window and a boarded door. An early 19th-century front door, with six flush panels, is located behind the wing.

Inside, a full cruck truss is visible between the first and second bays from the left, truncated above the collar; a possible cruck truss exists between the second and third bays from the left. Deep chamfered beams and chamfered joists are present in the third bay from the left. A tie-beam truss spans the third and fourth bays from the left, likely formerly an end truss. The eaves were raised in the 19th century. Later alterations complicate the building's interpretation, but the third bay from the left was probably always floored and enlarged in the 16th century, with the open hall originally situated to its left, although now significantly altered. The left-hand portion of the house adjoins a former 18th-century bank, separated by what appears to be a later infill section.
