Description

Manor Farmhouse, along with its outbuildings, mounting steps to the northeast, and garden wall to the southwest, is a farmhouse dating from 1738 with alterations made around 1800 and in the 20th century. The structure is built of coursed rubble with a slate roof and consists of two storeys and four bays. It features a panelled door with an overlight in a plain surround located in bay three, and 16-pane sash windows in flush wood frames with plain stone surrounds throughout. There are rendered panels between the ground and first-floor windows, gable copings, and a banded ridge stack situated between bays one and two and between bays three and four.

The change in stone on the facade indicates that the earlier house's eaves once reached the first-floor sill level, and the entrance was originally to the right of the current front door, where there is a blocked two-light mullioned window on the far left. The garden wall to the left is constructed of coursed stone, while the wall to the yard is made of rubble; it stands approximately 2 meters high and has a flat slab coping with an inserted gateway near the house.

At the rear, there is a short service wing with a parallel roof and lean-to outshuts, all with stone roofs and few windows. A low wall on the left has a pedestrian gateway with rounded coping, and repaired mounting steps are set against this wall. The low wall connects to a pair of single-storey rubble outbuildings with quoins and stone roofs, which are aligned parallel to the house and feature three board doors with plain lintels facing it. On the left return, a short low wall projects from the garden wall, and a broken gate pier at the end has crudely cut letters reading '-T/1738'. The interior has not been inspected. Manor Farm was part of the estate of Lady Elizabeth Hastings of Ledston Hall, a notable benefactor who passed away in 1739.
