Hartswood Manor

Hartswood Manor is a house of probable mid- to late 17th-century origin, with an earlier core. The main part of the house is three stories high with five windows, and has a plastered facade featuring a moulded wood eaves cornice and a tiled roof with three hips. It now has modern leaded cross-shaped casement windows. A large stack of four diagonal shafts is located at the rear, and there are two-shaft chimneys at each end, which may have been rebuilt. The northern part of the house is an earlier timber-framed structure, with one large and one small gable oversailing on a bressumer supported by carved brackets. This section has a very tall compound stack of old bricks. The front of this section is plastered and decorated with pargeting, displaying the date “1615” in a large gable. It also has modern leaded casement windows. 19th-century additions were made to the north and west of the house.
