Description
The Manor House is an early 16th-century building with additions from the 17th century, located in Winterborne Clenston. It features a combination of banded flint, ashlar, and rubble, with ashlar dressings. The stone-slate roofs are complemented by brick end stacks and stacks at the ends of the original range. A projecting chimney breast made of flint and ashlar is located on the right side of the house. The structure has two to three storeys and consists of seven bays, with the original facade being approximately symmetrical, while the 17th-century addition is on the left.
The windows are stone-mullioned, with three and four lights, and have moulded labels with head stops. The upper floor windows of the 16th-century section feature four-centred heads. Central to the early range is a two-storey octagonal stair turret and porch, which is corbelled out with a series of mouldings to a square plan at the eaves level and topped with a gable. The main doorway in the side of the tower has a moulded, four-centred head with continuous jambs.
Inside, the original 16th-century roof consists of ten collar-beam trusses with cambered collars, chamfered arch-braces, and cusped wind-bracing. The original range also features a coffered ceiling with moulded, intersecting beams, some original fireplaces, and 17th-century panelling and doors.
