Description
Kingston Manor is a T-shaped house situated in Kingston near Lewes. The south-east wing dates to the 16th century and was constructed using materials salvaged from St Pancras's Priory in Lewes, which was destroyed in 1538. This section was refronted in the 18th century with tile-hanging, with the westernmost bay stuccoed. It features an ashlar chimney breast. The roof is tiled and hipped. This wing has two small bays with horizontally sliding sash windows on the first floor, and a single casement window between them. The ground floor has ordinary sash windows with intact vertical glazing bars, and a modern porch is located below the casement window. The south-west wing is of 18th-century origin and has three windows, faced with knapped flints and red brick window dressings and quoins. It has a Horsham slab roof and sash windows with intact glazing bars. This wing contains a contemporary staircase. The north wing dates to the 19th century.
