Eastwell Manor and Courtyard Gateways

Eastwell Manor is a house built in 1843 by William Burn and rebuilt between 1926 and 1928 by B.C. Deacon. It features a combination of flint, dressed stone, and a plain tile roof, designed in an 'E' plan with extended wings. The house includes remnants of an 18th-century structure by Joseph Bonomi. It has two storeys, numerous irregularly placed stacks, and an irregular arrangement of mullioned cross-windows, with one on each floor of the left wing, a central gabled porch, and two in the right wing. There is a red brick wing on the right side. The remains of the earlier house now form attached walled gardens on the left and right.

In the courtyards at the rear of the house, there are two 16th-century gateways, previously listed separately. One is a round-headed stone archway with flanking columns and a cartouche above, while the other, to the north, is a four-centred brick arched gateway, castellated, flanked by buttresses and castellated walls. Inside, the house contains many earlier features brought in from other locations in the 20th century, including an oriel window in the kitchen court, panelling from Markyate in Hertfordshire, and a 17th-century staircase of unknown provenance. There is also a stone balustraded terrace extending approximately 300 yards in three flights to the south of the house, which is attached to a raised and paved terrace in front of the house. The Earls of Winchelsea spent around £500 on the house in the 19th century.
