Long Sutton Manor

Long Sutton Manor is a large house dating from the 16th century, with additions and alterations in the 17th and 19th centuries. The original core is a long, north-south timber-framed structure. Attached to the south end, on the west side, is a narrower, lower timber-framed wing, primarily from the 17th century. A T-shaped Victorian block, larger in scale, has been added to the south-east corner, with porches at both the front and back of the junction. The roof has red tile gables, with one south gable and the upper portions of two others on the south and east being tile-hung in scalloped courses. Prominent features include a massive shafted stack above the oldest part, a smaller stack on the wing, and a Victorian stack. The north side of the building exhibits exposed timber framing, bricknogged, with sections of close studding filled with flint. Elsewhere, the exterior is red brick; the west wing is in Flemish bond with a first floor band and plinth, while the Victorian section is in English bond with a higher first floor band and a plinth. Leaded casement windows are found in the older parts, some of which are original, including one cill supported by a curved bracket. Later additions incorporate sash windows, smaller casements, a ground-floor bay to the south, and a two-storeyed bay to the east. The main entrance is a flat-roofed porch with part brick walls and an open timber framework, containing a frame of plain balusters on arch bracing. The rear has an open porch with a pitched roof canopy supported on a corner post. The doorway to the original part has an architrave and a half-glazed door.
