Description
Fawler Manor is a house dating from the late 16th century, with the date "1590" marked on the stack at attic level. The right wing was added around 1910. The building features roughcast over the original timber frame and roughcast over brick in the right wing. It has a stone slate roof at the front and tiled at the rear, with brick stacks. The original layout consists of a hall and cross-wing plan. The house is two stories high with a four-window range, where two central bays create a recessed hall range. The entrance has a 20th-century door, while the front and rear feature original three- and four-light ovolo-moulded wood-mullioned leaded casements with iron fittings; the right wing has 20th-century casements. The roof is gabled, with 16th-century ridge stacks that have double flues set diagonally and a 20th-century stack at the front right.
Inside, there are four-panelled doors from around 1910, along with some 18th-century four-panelled doors with HL hinges on the first floor. The left ground floor room includes original chalk fireplaces with moulded architraves, and the first floor has a moulded beam with an elaborate stop in the left wing, featuring an original chalk fireplace with a moulded surround. There is part of the original newel adjoining the stack in the left wing that provides access from the first floor to the attic. The roof has a five-bay collar-truss design with butt purlins, and original floorboards are present throughout. A 20th-century porch is located at the rear left. Fawler Manor is marked on the Ordnance Survey map as Wirdnams Farm, its previous name.
