Description
Eyhorne Manor is a house, originally a group of cottages, dating back to the 15th or early 16th century, with an addition from the early 17th century, and restored in the late 20th century. The house is timber-framed with rendered infilling, and has a plain tile roof. It is built in a Wealden style, with a hall consisting of two bays of unequal length, and a jettied bay to the left. The right-hand bay was rebuilt in the 17th century. A short 17th-century rear wing with a smoke bay is attached to the left.
The house has two storeys and a stone plinth. The left-hand bay is jettied, with the jetty returning on a shaped dragon post. There is an underbuilt jetty to the right bay. Exposed timber framing is visible between the central bays, featuring broadly spaced studs and arch-braces to a flying wall-plate. The roof is hipped, with a gablet to the right. Brick stacks project from the left end of the hall and the right gable end. The windows are irregular leaded casements, with one 3-light window to each end bay, and two shallow 20th-century oriel windows on shaped brackets to the hall. A boarded door is located beneath the stack. A rear wing extends from the left.
The interior reveals exposed timber framing and a roof with a crown post. An ovolo-moulded window is set into the rear wall of the hall, while the right-hand bay has a clasped purlin roof.
