Dovers Green Road, Reigate

The central portion of the manor house dates from 1615 and it is believed that timbers used date back to 1550. The property is listed Grade 2. Nairn & Pevsner (1962) mention ‘Hartswood Manor, mostly plain three- storey Georgian, but incorporating parts of a gabled and plastered house dated 1615. The property comprises the original core of an Elizabethan manor house of timber frame and later additions of minor wings and a stucco façade to the west elevation and other portions. The windows on this elevation appear to have been altered either in the Georgian or early Victorian times to form a series of windows which match the then fashionable version with graded windows of a proportion and size of a classical standard design standards.
