1/66 Copton Manor 24.1.67 GV I

Manor house. Circa 1300, remodelled and extended C18 and mid C19. Flint and rubble stone, rendered, with plain tiled roofs. Hall house with 2 storey chamber block and offset wing (bailiffs quarters). C19 ballroom added to chamber block. Entrance front: 2 storeys and attic with tall hipped roof. Three gabled dormers and stacks to rear left, centre and right. Three glazing bar sashes on first floor, 2 tripartite glazing bar sashes on ground floor. Offcentre door of panels, the top 2 glazed, with semi-circular fanlight and flat hood on pilasters. Two storey half-octagonal bay windows to left, with glazing bar sashes, and 1 storey extension to right with 2 sashes. The whole front is slightly asymmetrical. Left return: 2 storeys, the upper storey breaking eaves line. Large hipped roof with gablet, stacks to left, centre anti right. Two glazing bar sashes first floor, 2 tripartite glazing bar sashes on ground floor. Blocked screens passage entry to centre left. Small C19 porch (blocked) in re-entrant with cross wing to right. Bailiffs quarters: (now a potting shed) to left. Now detached, but originally built into left end wall, the stone gable still stands, projecting from the main line of the range. The rest of the range is of painted brick, 2 storeys, with 1 casement window and boarded door on ground floor. Rear:weatherboarded external staircase with bell-pull, built for the use of farmhands to reach attic accommodation in main range. Ogee-headed 2 light window on rear wall, originally with some tracery. Interior: entirely preserved despite the later alterations and additions are 3 scissor braced roofs over the 3 ranges (chamber block, hall, with smoke-blackening, and bailiffs quarters- this with added tie-beams). Pointed chamfered doorways and blocked windows in various positions. Few other interior features - the hall roof is of very good quality work. Mason's marks associated with Canterbury Cathedral 1166-1220, although the ogee-headed windows suggest an early C14 date. (See Traditional Kent Buildings, no.1, 1984, pp 16-21, plans and elevations).
