Description
Jordan Manor is a farmhouse, believed to be a former longhouse, dating from the early 17th century with later additions. It is constructed of granite rubble and features a thatched roof that is hipped at the left-hand end. There are two chimneystacks, one small rendered stack on the center of the ridge and another on the right-hand gable.
The current layout includes a cross-passage with a blocked door at the rear, a long room (originally two rooms) to the right, and another long room, thought to have been the shippon, to the left. There is an added rear wing on the right side. The building has two storeys and a seven-window front, featuring 19th-century wood casement windows with glazing bars. The upper-storey windows have chamfered and stopped wood lintels, while the two right-hand ground-storey windows have 19th-century segmental arches made of red brick.
A single-storey stone entrance porch has a thatched pent-roof and a segmental-arched stone lintel, with a stone seat inside and a 19th-century door that has seven panels, three of which are flush. To the right of the porch is a small rectangular stair turret, likely a later addition, and to the right of this turret is a datestone from 1769. To the left of the porch is a granite dog-kennel with iron hinges and a catch for a door, topped with a flat stone slab supported by another slab on the left and two stone uprights on the right.
Inside, the hall fireplace, which backs onto the through-passage, features a chamfered wood lintel. The upper-floor beam next to it is double ovolo-moulded and has scroll-stops with bars. Two additional beams beyond this are chamfered with scroll-stops, and there is no structural evidence of a former partition. The roof timbers date from the 18th or early 19th century.
