Description

Manor Farmhouse and Manor Farmhouse Cottage is a Grade II listed farmhouse, part of which is now a separate cottage, with a dairy that has been incorporated into the house. The farmhouse is dated 'FAS FB 1677', while the dairy was added in the late 18th to early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed dressed stone with a stone slate roof and has two storeys. The farmhouse features a through-passage plan and has four first-floor windows. It has a chamfered plinth and a course above the plinth with mason's numbering. The entrance includes a basket-arched, moulded, quoined doorway with a dated lintel. The ground floor has double-chamfered mullion windows, with four-lights and six-lights, including a king mullion to the left of the door and a four-light window to the right, all under a dripmould. The first floor has windows of five, four, two (over the door), and five lights. There are shaped kneelers and ashlar coping to the right, along with corniced end and ridge stacks.

The dairy is located on the left and consists of one bay with access from the rear. It features quoins on the left, a round-arched vent, and a two-light flat-faced mullion window on the first floor, with shaped kneeler and coping to the left. The rear, which is now the front, has a chamfered quoins doorway to the left, with another doorway (to Manor Farmhouse Cottage) with a chamfered lintel on its left. The ground floor has double-chamfered mullion windows, with two, two, and four lights (some mullions removed), and three and five lights above. The dairy has a doorway that shares a massive stone lintel with a window. The right return features a three-light double-chamfered mullion window on the first floor.

Inside, the house has two chamfered, quoined doorways with massive lintels in the passage wall leading to the low end. The parlour, located at the far left, includes a chamfered, quoined fireplace with a massive lintel and stop-chamfered spine beams and joists. The roof is supported by king post trusses with arch braces to the principal rafters and wind-braces, along with through purlins.
