Walpen Manor

Walpen Manor is a house dating from around 1610, with extensions made in the 20th century. It is constructed from Isle of Wight stone rubble and features a thatched roof with a central brick chimneystack. The building has a T-shaped plan and consists of two storeys with attics in the gable end. There are three windows on the upper floor, along with one small additional mullioned window. The windows are casements with stone mullions and dripstones, although the ground floor windows have been altered.

The house has a two-storey central porch that is gabled, featuring kneelers and a slate roof. Above the porch is an obtusely pointed arch with drip moulding. The rear elevation includes a quarter-circle stone projection, which was once a stair turret. A 20th-century two-storey addition made of stone rubble has a tiled roof and three modern casements.

Inside, the manor boasts a number of significant features, including two early 17th-century stone fireplaces with four-centred arches on the ground floor, two six-panelled plank and muntin doors, a wide chamfered beam with heart-shaped stops, and an oak wall cupboard. On the first floor, there is a ducats room above the porch, a left-side bedroom with a four-centred arched stone fireplace and lamb's tongue stops on the spine beam. The main bedroom has a spine beam with heart stops, floor joists, and two six-panelled doors. Walpen Manor is noted as one of the original Domesday Manors and was once owned by Quarr Abbey.
