Full Description
According to G. Pooley these are marked on old maps as Rose's Manor House. Does this indicate a manorial site or a medieval core?
(S1) describes as: structurally one house. Dating to around 1600, rubble flint with brick and stone dressings, clunch, brick and render. Red pantiles. Two storeys with four windows randomly spaced on each floor. Hall house with services at east, hall in centre, parlours at west? Windows all late one upper level wooden cross window inserted in larger opening. 19th century two storey porch with lean-to, has knapped flint wall at south with stone dressings, suggesting it replaces an older porch. West gable has stone quoins and two attic fire windows, later 17th century brick classical arched door architrave. Fire window at end of façade, blocked. East gable has lean-to addition cut off at eaves. South wall rendered. Inglenook fireplace at north. Much altered butt-and through purlin roof.
This certainly sounds like a manor house, especially the stonework, but a date of around 1600 seems rather late for a complete hall house.

[1] states that there are no smoke blackened beams in the roof to indicate a hallhouse and the purlins are through-purlins, not butt purlins as stated in (S1), but there is some evidence the roof has been altered.
