Full Description
Described and illustrated in Country Life. <1>
Anderson Manor built on a modified E-shaped plan by John Tregonwell in 1622 has walls of brick with stone dressings above a plinth of knapped flint banded with square rubble. The main, south, front is symmetrical with an octagonal three-storyed porch at the centre and a projecting gabled bay of two storeys and attic at each end. In the later 17th century a service wing was added at the north west corner of the main block and this was extended westward, probably towards the end of the same century. In recent times minor additions have been made to the north west wing and the interior of the house has been extensively reconditioned. <3>
