Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house dated 1693, constructed of brick with a Swithland slate roof. It features five bays and two storeys raised on a basement. The central doorway is accessed by a flight of stone steps and has a Gibbs-type architrave, topped with a 19th-century elaborately latticed wooden porch. The door, also from the 19th century, includes ogival upper lights. Flanking the doorway are sash windows with splayed gauged brick heads, each containing 20 lights with thick astragals. The basement windows are casements set in rendered surrounds. The house has a fine modillion eaves cornice, brick coped gables that are corbelled out, and gable end stacks adorned with four tiers of projecting bosses.
Attached to the house at each angle is a garden wall from the 18th century, made of brick with buttresses and stone copings. The gate piers are topped with slender flaming urns, and the wall continues to enclose a garden to the left of the house.
