Hinxworth Place

Hinxworth Place is a manor house, now divided into two properties, dating to the late 15th century. A south-east wing was added in the 16th century, and the entire house was re-windowed in the early to mid-17th century, with a rear lean-to extension also added at that time. The walls are of clunch, with a flint rubble plinth. The roof is plain tiled, hipped, and includes two three-light leaded casement dormers. The building is two storeys and has attics.

The north-east front elevation has four mullioned and transomed stone casements; the upper floor windows each have three lights, while the two left-hand ground-floor windows have four lights, featuring moulded cornices. The original entrance, towards the right, has a pointed arch within a hooded and moulded square frame. Adjacent to the door is an original two-light window with a cinquefoiled design. Other original 15th-century windows have been reset into the rear lean-to, a total of four, one to the side and the others at the rear. A blocked door with a moulded depressed arch is located on the left side of the front elevation. The south-east wing has a plastered, jettied upper floor, incorporating a five-light mullioned and transomed ground-floor window that retains some original armorial glass. A red brick stack, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, is on the north-west side. The south-east side features a 16th-century four-centre arch door and a restored three-light mullioned window. A lean-to extension was added to the front in 1980.

Inside, the hall to the left of the entrance was originally built with two storeys, featuring heavy moulded floor beams. A large fireplace, now blocked, is present. An adjoining door leads to a timber partition with two four-centre-arch doors providing access to former service rooms. The room above the hall contains extensive wall paintings dating from around 1500, depicting a red ochre brocade pattern on a yellow background. Graffiti in an early script is visible above the fireplace. A further stone fireplace is located in a passage on the upper level.
