Hollingbourne Manor is an Elizabethan manor house in the village of Hollingbourne, Kent. It was constructed in about 1570 in the familiar Elizabethan E-plan, but is incomplete. The north wing is variously described as only partly built or destroyed by fire, leaving the present L-shaped plan.[1][2]
Hollingbourne Manor was designated a Grade I listed building in 1952.[2]
Architecture
The two-storey house, with attics, is built of red brick in English bond, and has a plain tile roof. Four broad brick stacks in English bond, each with three diagonally set flues, project from the gable end of the south wing.[2] The great hall, entered from the main entrance through screens, has a flat ceiling at the height of the ground-floor storey.[3] The interior of the house contains 18th-century panelling on the first floor, and early 20th-century panelling on the ground floor.[2]
