Details HAUGHLEY HAUGHLEY GREEN TM 06 SW 4/87 Walnut Tree Manor - 9/12/55 -- II Former farmhouse. Late C17 with earlier core, probably of c.1600. Remodelling of mid C19 and mid C20. Red brick, partly encasing timber-framed core (the rear wall remains partially timber-framed with some C18 plasterwork). To right is a section of good late C17 brickwork with burnt headers, a band at 1st floor and a parapet gable now plastered, incoporating a C17 internal end chimney with a moulded cap. To left is further red brickwork (without burnt headers) of late C17 or C18; the parapet gable and chimney were rebuilt in C19, perhaps involving truncation. The centre section is a mid C19 remodelling with areas of red and gault brick at random, originally colourwashed. Plaintiled roof with an axial C19 chimney of red brick. 4 hipped plaintiled dormers with C20 large small-pane casements. 2 storeys and attics, 5 windows, including prominent central C19 2-storey entrance porch with parapet gable. Mid C20 small-pane metal casements, in C19 openings with flat arches of red brick. C17/C18 window openings with segmental heads are visible, blocked with C19 red brickwork. Mid C20 pair of glazed entrance doors with sidelights. Some C18 panelling and one chamber fireplace. C17 framing members are exposed; at the centre is evidence of good close-studding and a lower roofline of c.1600. For a time the home of Capt. Oates of the Scott Antarctic Expedition.
