Kingsnorth Manor Farmhouse

Kingsnorth Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with an early 17th-century addition. It is timber framed, with the left range rendered and the right wing featuring exposed close-studding and plaster infilling. The roof is covered with plain tiles and the building has two storeys and attics set on a stone plinth, with a cellar beneath the wing.

The right cross-wing projects forward, jettied at the first floor and attic, supported by moulded bressumers and shaped brackets. The gable has plain bargeboards. The roof of the left range is half-hipped to the left and connects to the cross-wing on the right. A multiple brick ridge stack with fillets is located on the front slope of the roof, off-centre to the left of the left range, and there is a slender stack on the right side of the wing.

The fenestration is irregular, featuring three windows: a three-light casement to the left of the stack and a four-light casement to the right. The cross-wing has a prominent 10-light ovolo-moulded mullioned and transomed oriel window on the first floor, supported by shaped brackets, with a moulded cill and cornice, and single side lights. There is internal evidence for frieze windows on each side. The ground floor of the wing includes a four-light leaded casement and evidence for three-light frieze windows on either side, along with a three-light attic casement. A ribbed door is located under a late 19th or early 20th-century open wooden porch at the right end of the left range.

Inside, the farmhouse features exposed timbers and moulded beams. The staircase has an octagonal newel post and leads from the ground floor to the attic. The wing has an aligned butt purlin roof with windbraces, while the left range has a clasped purlin roof with diminishing principal rafters and windbraces.
