Description
The Manor House is a Grade II* listed manor house located in Ham Village, dating from the 17th century, with a late 18th-century wing and 19th-century remodelling. It is constructed of brick with some tile hanging and features tiled roofs. The building is two storeys high with attics, consisting of a central block with three bays, where the end bays were brought forward in the 18th century and gabled. The centre bay is raised and includes a clock tower and bell turret, which may date from the 17th or 18th century. The late 18th-century right rear wing has a reset datestone from 1727. There is a 19th-century rear wing added to the centre bay and an extension to the left with a canted end. The central entrance door is timber, flanked by leaded windows, and the 12-pane sash windows are also present. The gables are tile hung, likely from the 19th century.
Inside, the centre bay features a stair hall with 17th-century panelling, while the right bay has fielded panelling from the 18th century, and above this room, there is also 18th-century panelling. The first floor of the left wing retains remnants of late 16th or 17th-century timber framing, along with some 17th-century panelling over the hall. There is an 18th-century staircase, and the clock is said to have a 17th-century mechanism. The garden layout is notable and includes a square belvedere mound with an ascending ramp.
