Description
Harton Manor is a house that likely has origins from the 17th century, with datestones indicating remodels in 1706 and 1819, and further alterations in the 19th century. The building features rendered stone rubble walls and a gable-ended asbestos slate roof, with a brick stack at the left gable end.
The plan appears to consist of two different ranges, possibly due to 19th-century remodeling. It has a basic three-room layout, likely with a passage or entrance hall to the left of center, which, along with the room to its left, projects from the main structure. There are also 19th and 20th-century rear additions. The datestones likely refer to the remodeling efforts.
The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical window arrangement of 2:3. The left-hand range projects and features two large 20th-century 24-pane sash windows, one on each floor. Above the top window are the datestones from 1706 and 1819. The eaves have a 20th-century dentilled cornice that extends across the recessed section to the right. At the left end, there is a 20th-century two-light small-paned casement window and a 19th-century six-panelled door beneath a slate pentice. To the left of the door is a small stone-framed recess of uncertain purpose. The right-hand range is taller and set at a slightly different angle, with three hornless 20-pane early 19th-century sash windows on the first floor, a smaller window below to the right, and a 20th-century 24-pane sash to the left. A 20th-century panelled door is located to the right of center.
The interior was inaccessible during the survey, but it may contain 17th-century features such as ceiling beams and open fireplaces, as well as good quality early 19th-century joinery.
