Description

Nunhide Manor is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and early 18th century, with an early 20th-century addition on the right side. The building features some internal timber framing, but is primarily constructed of red brick with grey headers, a flint and brick plinth, and a plat band on the left. It has a hipped old tile roof with a dentil brick eaves cornice, altered end stacks, and two flat-topped dormers with glazing bar sashes. The structure has a basement, two storeys, and an attic, with three bays that include tripartite glazing bar sashes with segmental heads and exposed wooden boxes in the left-hand bay, as well as segmental-headed glazing bar sashes with exposed wooden boxes in the two right-hand bays. An early 18th-century lead downpipe features the initials "I E" on the rainwater head. The south front has an 18th-century six-panelled door with a 20th-century hipped porch, while the north front displays a sealed four-panelled door with glazed upper panels and a flat hood.

To the left, there is a block set back, made of red brick with an old tile roof and an end stack on the left. This section has two storeys, with a four-light leaded casement on the first floor, a four-light segmental-headed leaded casement to the left on the ground floor, and a segmental-headed boarded door to the right.

Inside, the manor features groin vaulted cellars beneath the early 18th-century block, remnants of timber framing, half of a possibly 17th-century Ionic column with guilloche ornament, and remains of a dog wheel used to rotate a spit. There are also early 20th-century fireplaces, panelling, and a ceiling rose in the first-floor room to the right, as well as a lead-lined internal wooden gutter in the attic.
