Goodwin Manor Farmhouse

Goodwin Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid to late 17th century. The ground floor of the rear section may be part of an earlier 16th-century house, which had a first floor rebuilt or added in the late 17th century or early 18th century. The building is timber-framed and exposed, featuring a hipped roof covered with original diaper pattern tiles, some of which have been repaired. It has a ridge stack primarily made of gault brick, with some red brick and a string course.

The original layout consists of a single range with three structural bays and a fire bay, along with a stair turret at the rear, which is now incorporated into a 19th-century lean-to. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has six windows on the first floor. This includes one small 20th-century window that replaces an original closet window opposite the stack, and two original 17th-century cross-frame iron casements with stay bars and turnil fastening, although these have 20th-century leaded lights. The ground floor features three 20th-century windows and an original doorway with an 18th-century door made of six raised and fielded panels. The end walls are braced at the first floor.

The rear range has a clunch ground floor and a framed first floor, topped with a half-hipped roof covered in cement tiles. This section is also two storeys high, but all the windows and doorways here are later additions. Inside, the original range retains many late 17th-century features, including two-panel doors and flat section twisted balusters for ventilation openings above the spice cupboard doors and the parlour doorway. The hall contains a large inglenook fireplace, mostly made of pink or red brick, along with smaller hearths in the parlour and a first-floor chamber above the parlour. The roof structure consists of staggered butt purlins with collars between the principal rafters. The addition features a large inglenook hearth, with a main beam and joists of substantial scantling laid flat. The floor frame may incorporate reused materials or be part of an earlier building on the site. The farmhouse is situated on a former moated site.
