Description
Weavering Manor is a house that has been divided into two homes, dating from the early 15th century with an addition from the early 17th century. The building features rendered timber-framing and a slate roof, standing two storeys high on a plinth.
No. 2, on the left, retains three-quarters of an early 15th-century Wealden house, which includes a single storeyed service bay at the left end and an open hall with two unequal bays. No. 1, to the right, is a rebuild from the early 17th century of the right storeyed end bay of the Wealden house, with a front wing that creates an L-shaped plan. No. 1 has higher storeys than No. 2. Originally, No. 2 jutted out at the left end and the front. It has a hipped roof at the left end and a multiple brick stack on the front slope of the roof at the right end. Each floor of No. 2 features two 3-light leaded casements, one towards each end. There is a door in the left gable end.
No. 1 has a gabled roof at the junction with No. 2 and a hipped roof to the right. The wing also has a hipped roof. There are two large projecting stacks with stone bases, one at the right gable end of the main block and one on the right side of the wing. The main block has one 3-light leaded casement on each floor to the left, along with one on the re-entrant elevation of the wing and one in the gable end of the wing. A panelled door with a flat hood is located in the main block, adjacent to the wing.
Inside, No. 2 features a rare short moulded spear in the high-end bressumer on the ground floor, along with moulded ends of hall beams, a roof with a moulded crown-post, ashlar pieces, a moulded cornice, a heavy cambered tie-beam, moulded central truss posts, and exposed framing. There is a fireplace with a chamfered surround and integral moulded candle brackets on the first floor in the left end bay. No. 1 contains early 17th-century moulded stone fireplace surrounds and early 17th-century panelling in the ground-floor room of the wing and the first-floor room of the main block. The roof features butt side purlins. The property was owned by the Vintners Company from 1557 to 1918.
