Description

The building comprises a house, originally one dwelling but now divided into three separate properties: numbers 3 (Hayes End Manor), 5, and 7. The origins of the house date back to the 15th century, with significant alterations and extensions in the 17th and 18th centuries. A later wing was added by J.W. Peters. The construction is primarily of Ham stone, with squared and ashlar dressings. The west wing has a concrete pantile roof, replacing what was originally thatch. Numbers 3 and 7 have clay pantile roofs, with number 3 featuring plain gables and number 7 an east gable with a stepped coping and an obelisk finial. Brick chimney stacks are also present.

The main structure follows a quadrangle plan. The west wing, largely incorporating number 5, is of the 17th and 18th centuries, two storeys high, and has two bays with irregular window placement. It features hollow-chamfer mullioned windows set in chamfered recesses. The ground floor has windows of 4, 2, 4, 3, and 3 lights, each with individual labels. Above are 3-light casements of an early design, all with rectangular-leaded glazing and iron-framed opening lights. A chamfered, cambered-arched doorway with a boarded door is situated in the lower bay, sheltered by a coped gabled open porch with a ball finial. The north gable includes a single-light window at ground floor level without a label, and a square date plaque set high in the gable; the inscription is no longer legible, but it likely refers to alterations made around 1760 when the roof was raised. The south gable has a 4-light mullioned window on the first floor, and similar window is present in the east gable of number 7. Later 20th century windows are found in numbers 3 and 7.

Reported interiors within the west range include a large fireplace in the north room, with a former doorway now recessed alongside and a 3-bay ceiling. A central entry leads to opposing doors and a staircase. Beyond, a former hall features a 4-unit ceiling with moulded beams and a back window with a 2-light ovolo-mould mullioned design. The south room contains an ogee-mould, cambered-arched stone fireplace. The roof structure is complex, with six trusses of differing patterns, including a post and truss with signs of wattle and daub infill, a jointed cruck, and several closed trusses of unknown height. Some trusses are smoke-blackened and one bay has wind braces. The building is understood to have originated as a hall house around 1500, with a floor inserted around 1600, followed by significant reshaping in the 18th century.
