Marringdean Manor

Marringdean Manor is a house that dates back to the 15th century, featuring a south wing and a 16th century cross wing to the northwest, with a possible early 19th century addition to the northeast. The building is primarily timber framed and tile hung, except for part of the south front and later additions on the north front. The roof is mainly covered with clay tiles, except for the east-facing roof of the 16th century wing, which is made of Horsham stone slabs. There are two brick chimney stacks, and the house has two storeys and an attic with irregular window placements.

The main entrance is located in the 16th century wing on the north front, which has a half-hipped roof and a flat-roofed dormer with a casement window, along with two iron casements on the lower floors. The doorcase features a flat wooden hood supported by brackets and a 20th century wooden door with 15 panels. The south front includes a flat-roofed three-light dormer, two mullioned windows with leaded lights on the first floor, and a large late 19th century three-light canted bay window on the right side with iron casements and a French window on the ground floor. There is also a late 19th century canted bay on the left side.

Inside, the southwest part of the 15th century wing retains crown posts, arched tie beams, collars, and collar purlins. The western bay features two unusual inward-facing straight braces beneath the tie beam, while the center bay has a curved brace between the jowled upright post and tie beam. Most of the collar purlin facing eastwards has been sawn away and is supported by a head brace from the crown post. The first-floor bedroom at the junction of the 15th century wing and the 16th century cross wing boasts a fine late 16th century stone fireplace with a moulded top, a four-centred arch with decorated spandrels, and high stops.
