Description
Horton Manor House is a U-shaped, two-storey timber-framed building dating from the 15th to early 16th century, with a 19th-century extension between its two wings. The exterior has been refaced and refurbished in the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring 18th-century red brick and Kent peg tile hanging, along with some 16th-century and buff brick in the northeast wing. The roof is covered with Kent peg tiles.
On the northwest entrance elevation, there are two bays with a pyramidal roof. The ground floor is made of brick and includes a 19th-century canted bay window with sash lights that lack glazing bars. The first floor has two sash windows, each three panes wide. The main wing on the northeast elevation features a gabled brick porch with a round-headed arch, and a plain tile lean-to roof to the right over a ground floor projection. On the first floor, there are two windows with glazing bars; the second window is four panes wide with a thick central mullion, and there is also a triple sash window with glazing bars. The main roof descends low over the lean-to.
The northeast elevation has a ground floor of brick with two widely spaced cambered-headed sash windows, each three panes wide. The first floor is tile hung and has two flat-arched sash windows, also three panes wide. A tall brick stack is located on the ridge. The southeast elevation features a likely 15th-century five-light transomed and mullioned window on the ground floor at the northeast end.
Inside, there is a central hall with an inserted floor and a fine oak roof that includes two cruciform crown posts with broach stops, supported by large arched tie beams. The end wall of the hall showcases full-height exposed timber framing, and there is a crown post with two braces in the northeast wing.
