Description
Manor House Farmhouse is a house dating to the late 17th century, significantly altered in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of whitewashed brick with a 20th-century plain tile roof and has an L-shaped plan with a central-hallway entry. The house is two storeys high and five bays wide. A door, dating to the early 19th century and incorporating half-glazing, is set beneath a Gothick-traceried fanlight within a pedimented doorcase supported on slender columns. A substantial first-floor string course runs around the building. The windows are PVC replacements set within original openings and have elliptical relieving arches above them. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, though the stacks were removed during a re-roofing in 1984. Internally, a late 17th-century closed string staircase with plain, squat balusters remains. The landing balustrade is a 20th-century replacement.
