Heron Manor Monkton Cottage

Heron Manor and Monkton Cottage is a hall house that was originally a row of cottages, dating from around 1500, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed, partly clad in painted brick, and has a plain tile roof. It stands two storeys high on a plinth, featuring a hipped roof with gablets and two 20th-century sloping dormers on the right side. There is a stack at the left end, a ridge stack towards the centre left, and a rear stack on the right. The structure consists of six framed bays, with a 20th-century catslide outshot on the left. The left end bay, dating from the early 18th century, is timber framed with a ground floor of painted brick. The original hall house had four framed bays with a screens passage that is now blocked and has had a stack inserted. The framing includes large panels with tension braces, and the right end bay was likely originally end-jettied but is now underbuilt with painted brick. The building has an irregular arrangement of six windows, which include both sash and casement styles. There are three 20th-century plank and panelled doors located in the left end bay, the second bay from the left, and the second bay from the right.
