Description
Poldhurst Manor is a timber-framed building, likely dating from the 17th century, with a main L-shaped section. The building was largely refaced with brick and is now painted, although some timbering remains visible on a projecting gable. The roof is tiled, featuring a 17th-century brick chimneystack. One gable end facing east is tile-hung. The east wall retains sash windows with original glazing bars; other windows are modern casements. A simple doorcase is present. A lower wing extends to the north-east, with two gables. The interior includes an inglenook fireplace.
