The Manor House Including Attached Outbuilding And Garden Wall With Pump And Tank

The Manor House is an early 18th-century house that was refronted in the early 19th century, with later 19th-century modifications and some 20th-century restoration. The front and rear are of diaper brickwork. The left side has a tiled gable, while the rear has tiled half-hipped gables and the right side a rendered gable. The roofs are mainly slate, with Horsham stone slabs on the left and brick chimneystacks, though one rear chimneystack is rendered. The house is two storeys with attics in the gable ends. The front elevation features six sash windows with cambered heads. The first-floor window on the left is an early 19th-century 12-pane sash, while the others are 20th-century 16-pane or 20-pane sashes within original head linings. The doorcase is early 19th century, with a rectangular fanlight, side panels, and four flush panels, originally topped with a wooden flat hood, now supported by 20th-century brick circular columns. On the left side, there's a tiled gable, a 12-pane sash, and a French window with marginal glazing. The rear elevation has brick modillion cornices and 20th-century casements and triple windows within original window openings, with cambered ground-floor windows. A 19th-century gable is on the left. The right side has a rendered gable with a 19th-century casement to the attic, a 20th-century window to the first floor, and a triple 19th-century window to the ground floor, in addition to sashes and a doorcase with sidelights. Attached to the rear by an early 19th-century brick corridor is a former 18th-century outbuilding, one storey and attics, constructed of brick with a tiled roof, and featuring one tripartite 19th-century sash. A later brick addition exists at the rear of the outbuilding. Also attached to the house is an 18th-century garden wall, roughly eight feet high, built of stone rubble with a coved top and plinth fronting the road, and of Sussex bond brick on the other three sides. The rear wall incorporates an 18th-century lead pump with a semi-circular lead tank and lions' head masks.

Inside, the front rooms of the main house have chamfered spine beams, and the end left room retains an open fireplace. A well staircase from the early 19th century has stick balusters and ramped column newels. The rear kitchen retains a massive wooden bressumer over the fireplace, plank doors with early hinges, and a wooden winder staircase. A wooden staircase leads to the basement, which contains an early 19th-century dairy with stone shelves, original trelliswork partitions, a stone floor, a 19th-century wood and metal pump, and 18th-century floor joists with chamfers and triangular or run-out stops. The former outbuilding preserves an open fireplace and a wooden ladder leading to the loft.
