Description
Bindon Manor House is a former manor house that dates back to the 15th century and was extensively rebuilt in the 16th century, with a mid-20th century extension. The building is constructed of stone rubble with freestone dressings and features a slate roof. It has two storeys and attics, with two gabled bays on the west front representing the gable ends of two parallel roofs, which include the former great hall in the north range.
At the center, there is a two-storey gabled ashlar porch with a moulded four-centred arch doorway. The windows include two and three-light ovolo moulded stone mullions with hood moulds, while the ground floor retains small 15th-century four-centred headed windows. On the first floor, there is a three-light perpendicular traceried window that serves the chapel on the south side. The house also features small ashlar chimney stacks, a projecting two-storey wing to the left (north-west), and an extension to the right (south). A long single-storey wing from the mid-20th century extends to the north and includes Tudor-style stone windows.
Inside, the manor has moulded ceiling beams, some plank and muntin screens, and stone chimney piers. The former hall has been floored, and the former chapel, located in a first-floor room on the south side, contains a screen from the early 15th century. This chapel was licensed in 1425 by Bishop Lacy.
