Manor Farm And Wall Running North East

Manor Farm and the wall running northeast are located in Rockbourne. This is a Grade I listed manor house that dates back to the 14th century, with later alterations and a range from the late 17th century that was modified in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from rubble stone and flint, featuring some herringbone patterns, along with significant brick rebuilding, and the later sections are finished in painted brick. The roofs are covered with plain tiles.

The original 14th-century structure is a small, S-shaped, two-storey building with a two-bay range facing the church. It includes a hall wing that extends across one end, with a square plan projection at the rear of the other bay. At the end of this bay, there is an 18th-century link to a two-storey, five-bay late 17th-century range that is positioned at right angles.

The entrance front of the building is dominated by the late 17th-century range, which features a slightly projecting half-hipped left-hand bay. Just to the left of the centre, there is a half-glazed door that is sheltered by a moulded flat hood supported by thin columns and pilasters. The other bays contain large 20th-century two or four-light casements set beneath segmental arches, which cut into a raised band on the first floor. On the first floor, there are 18th-century leaded two or three-light casements. The building has end stacks and a ridge stack located between the right-hand bays.

The front of the house that faces the church has the hall wing projecting forward at the right-hand end of the chamber range, with a link to the 17th-century range at the left-hand end, which has 20th-century additions in front of all but the hall. The hall range features a 14th-century door with a three-centred head, which is blocked with herringbone flint work and faces the north door of the church. There are also some blocked lancet windows. The chamber range includes wooden casements and an offset first floor with stone tiles, as well as stone mullioned windows on the first floor. The gable walls and brick stacks are located over the junction of the ranges and at the left-hand end, with gables and other sides rebuilt in brick.

From the right-hand corner of the hall range, a wall made of cob with a tile coping extends 20 meters to the corner of the chapel barn, enclosing a small garden around the house. The interior of the building is expected to be of interest, and the older part is designated as a scheduled Ancient Monument.
