Yewden Manor

Yewden Manor is a house that has been converted into four apartments. The oldest part of the building likely dates from the late 16th to 17th century and has been remodelled and extended to the left in the late 19th century. There is also a projecting wing from the late 17th to 18th century and a lower wing from the late 19th century to the right. The original section (No. 3) features a timber frame that is concealed by colourwashed roughcast, with a plinth made of flint and brick. It has a plain tile roof and a chimney stack made of thin brick on the left, which has four diagonal shafts and one square shaft. The building is two storeys high with an attic, displaying two gabled bays and one chimney bay on the front. The windows are arranged irregularly, with leaded sashes on the ground floor to the right, cross windows on the first floor, and paired casements in the attic, most of which are leaded. There is a 19th-century arched door to the left and a lead water spout in the centre.

The large projecting extensions from the 19th century to the left (Nos. 1 and 2) match the original style, featuring roughcast and colourwashed finishes, tiled roofs, and brick chimneys. These extensions have three gabled bays on the front, with the centre gable being smaller. They include large transomed wooden casements, a canted bay with sashes and a cornice on the ground floor to the right, and a Gothic doorway in a large gabled porch between the left bays. The projecting wing from the 17th to 18th century to the right of the original part is made of flint, mostly roughcast and colourwashed, with a gable at the front that has a three-pane sash window in the upper storey. There is a 19th-century Venetian window on the left return and a blind turret at the centre of the roof. To the far right, there is a single-storey 19th-century wing made of flint and brick, featuring gables over wooden casements and a central arched door.

The rear of the building has five gables with 19th-century canted bay windows in the outer bays and the centre. Inside, No. 3 contains a fine moulded and stopped wooden doorcase from the 16th to 17th century, which was originally external, and an upper room with 17th-century panelling and a painted stone fireplace. There is an early 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and knob finials.
