Description

Manor Farmhouse is a house that likely dates from the late 15th to 16th century for its rear wing, which has been altered in the 17th and 20th centuries. The front wing is a late 17th-century addition with later extensions. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, featuring limestone quoins and window dressings, and has Collyweston slate roofs with coped gables and ashlar chimneys. It has a T-plan layout.

The front wing is two storeys high with an attic and consists of two bays that contain three-light mullion windows. The lower windows have hollow-chamfered mullions, while the upper windows are ovolo-moulded. There are two hipped dormers with paired wooden casements, and a 20th-century door is located to the left. The flanking chimneys have moulded neckings and cornices. To the left, there is another bay that is slightly set back, which has a 19th-century sash window inserted, and the rear wall features ovolo-moulded mullion windows. An early 19th-century attached outbuilding, likely a former granary, is located at the left end and has an arched passage leading to the rear.

The rear wing, originally two and a half bays, is also two storeys high. A large chimney has been removed from the left end to create an additional bay. The original bays have four-light ovolo-moulded mullion windows, most of which feature casement cornices. There is another three-light window in the centre of the first floor, and a matching 20th-century three-light window has been inserted to the left. A wide board door, set slightly off-centre, is framed by a moulded two-centred arch with a hoodmould. Traces of a similar doorway, now blocked, have been discovered opposite in the rear wall, which also has several mullion windows, some dating from the 20th century.

The interior has been altered but retains a heavy stop-chamfered spine beam in the far bay of the rear wing. The roof of the rear wing is not accessible for inspection but may be of interest.
