Description
This is a manor house built around 1520 to 1530 for Sir Henry Fermor. It is constructed from brick rubble and features extensive carved and moulded brick decoration, with a red pantile roof. The house is two storeys high and characterized by polygonal angle shafts and battlements. A two-storey porch is positioned slightly off-centre. The porch features a four-centred stone arch, with ground-floor angles in flint and stone chequerwork, and brickwork above. Carved brick coats of arms and three-light arched windows indicate a primarily Gothic architectural influence rather than Renaissance.
To the west is the hall range, comprising three bays divided by the polygonal angle shafts and featuring decorated bands and battlements along with brick mullioned and transomed windows. To the east of the hall range is a service range, originally three bays wide. The central bay contains a three-storey tower, likely originally balanced by another tower on the hall range. This service range was largely ruined in the 19th century and the house was restored in 1919 and 1938. At the west end of the house is a substantial stack of ten chimneys.
