Fairseat Manor is located in the centre of the hamlet of Fairseat, opposite the village pond and adjacent to Fairseat Chapel (The Church of the Holy Innocents).

The manor house dates back to the 15th century, if not earlier. In 1682, it was known as Barbers Farm and was inhabited by the Lance family, who were also prominent in the nearby village of Ash. In the early 1700s, ownership passed to John Cox. The house and its land were bought in the 19th Century by the wealthy social reformer, William Hickson, whose family intermarried with the Waterlows. Later owners, Colonel and Mrs Anderson, gifted the recreation field, opposite the manor house, for use by the local community.

The manor house has a particularly fine, characteristically early Georgian doorcase, and the narrowing of the windows indicates the declining importance of hallways over time. It was listed Grade II* in 1952.
