Seytons Manor

Seytons Manor is a house that originated in the late 16th century, with the central two bays dating from that time. It was refronted in the early 18th century and had its rear rebuilt in the early 19th century. The house features early 18th-century extensions at each end and at the front, creating a U-shaped plan, along with some 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of brick and has old tile roofs, with a central chimney rebuilt in thin brick and another chimney on the right side that has a narrow pilaster.

The house is two storeys tall with four bays. The windows are 20th-century oak mullion and transom types with leaded lights. The narrow central bays have gauged brickwork on the ground floor, a broken band course on the first floor, and flush pilasters of gauged brick on the upper storey. The ground floor features cross windows, with the right window being more altered than the left. There is another cross window on the first floor to the right. A central 20th-century door is topped with a moulded brick pediment.

To the right, there is a hipped wing with a front end that includes a moulded first-floor band course and similar flush pilasters of gauged brick. The brickwork on this wing is partly irregular and altered. It has a two-light casement window on the ground floor and a three-light window above. A 20th-century single-storey brick extension projects from the front right corner.

The left wing is gabled at the front and features irregularly bonded brickwork, a first-floor band course, and a flint plinth. The gable contains three-light windows with segmental heads, and there is a 20th-century door leading to the cellar. Additionally, there is a blocked cellar opening with a depressed brick arch in the right return wall.

Inside, the central bays have timber framing in the end walls and a central truss with a curved brace to the tie beam. The heavy chamfered spine beams are complemented by wide stop-chamfered joists.
