Interior: large fireplace with moulded stone Tudor arch; court room with moulded bolection panelling; room at SW corner of ground floor has fireplace of c1700 with mythological painting on overmantel; staircase of similar date with twisted balusters, moulded handrail, closed string, dog-grate and plain panelling to walls (B5).
SP 77203156. A moat, now bisected by a stream, has been located by E Bull (B7).
SP 77303156. According to Bull, vestiges of a moat are also visible around Manor Farm, late C17th (b2), which was formerly moated (b3). (B8).
Neither feature is a moat. That at SP 77203156 is a Md village enclosure, one of several defined by depressions and baulks which remain of the shrunken Md village of Great Horwood. Manor Farm is primarily late 17th c but incorporating a Tudor brick chimney (not outstanding). Its position on a steep hill slope precludes it being moated, and the only "moat-like" feature is an elongated duck-pond to the SW of the house (B9).
