The Manor House Flats 1 To 3, The Manor House And The Granary And Attached Walls And Gate Pier

The Manor House Flats 1 to 3, The Manor House and The Granary, along with the attached walls and gate pier, are located on Hanborough Main Road in Long Hanborough. This building dates back to the early 17th century, likely constructed around 1628 for Thomas Bouchier, and was remodeled in the late 17th century for another Thomas Bouchier. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble and features gabled stone slate roofs, with stone end stacks on the cross wing and ridge and end stacks of stone finished in brick on the main range.

The building has a three-unit plan with a cross-wing on the left and stands two stories high with an attic, displaying a three-window range. A 20th-century lean-to porch is present, and there are timber lintels above late 19th-century four-light casements, as well as 18th-century transomed cross windows on the first floor. The gabled roof dormers add to its character. The cross-wing features 20th-century casements on its left side wall, while the rear includes a stair-turret to the left of the main range and an early 19th-century two-storey bay made of stone ashlar, which has a raised storey band and keyed segmental and flat stone arches.

To the front left, there is a lower 18th-century range with a 20th-century porch, connected to a tall one-storey late 17th-century block made of similar materials, featuring moulded stone coping and timber lintels over three 20th-century windows. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.

The property also includes subsidiary features such as an L-shaped wall, measuring approximately 15 by 20 meters, which partly encloses a foldyard at the front. This wall is made of stone-coped limestone rubble and is terminated by a late 17th-century ashlar gate pier, which has a channelled design, a moulded cornice, and a ball finial. The late 17th-century block attached to the left is symmetrically balanced with a detached outbuilding block to the right or northwest of the house.
