August 1985. Grade II listed. A 17th century (or earlier) timber framed and plastered house with an early 19th century front range. The front range is built from red brick with a hipped grey slate roof and the rear wings have red tiled roofs and some exposed timber framing. The building is two storeys. There is a dairy and bakehouse to the rear, the dairy with herringbone brick floor. <1> See photos <2>. Around 1855 much of the estate was being sold off. On the 3rd edition OS map (1924) a house named Vaulty Manor appears closer to Heybridge, north of the Goldhanger Road. The 17th century house must have either become the manor house or adopted the name of the manor at some point after about 1890 as it was previously known as Jehew’s or Jehu’s farmhouse on the Tithe map of around 1841 and possibly earlier. <3>
