Hawkesbury Manor

Hawkesbury Manor is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century, which has been rendered in the 19th century. It features a timber-framed and weatherboarded structure with two-span, hipped and tiled roofs, and brick lateral stacks located in the roof valley. The building is two stories tall and has a three-window range on the front, with a single window on the returns and scattered windows at the rear. The sash boxes are of an 18th-century design, although the windows themselves are of a later pattern. Quoin strips are present at the corners and around the windows. The entrance is centrally located on the south elevation and is framed by a Tuscan aedicule surround. The house has a double-pile plan, with an entrance-stair hall flanked by parlours. During the inspection, it was noted that all plaster and lathe had been removed from the interior walls and ceilings, and the first-floor floorboards had been taken up, revealing a sawn-wood balloon frame set within a morticed framework of larger sawn-wood timbers that form the sole, storey, walls plates, and corner uprights.
