Description
Manor Farmhouse and its associated outbuildings form a planned farm complex, largely dating to the late 18th century, with a front range remodelled in the mid-19th century and some 20th-century alterations. The house is constructed of brick, with the front and left side roughcast and colourwashed. The front range has a Swithland slate roof, the left side has interlocking tiles, and the outbuildings have corrugated asbestos and tiled roofs. Brick chimneys are present. The building is arranged around a courtyard.
The two-storey L-shaped house in the front-left corner has three bays facing the street. It features dentil eaves and mid-19th century boxed four-pane sash windows; the first-floor windows are square, and those on the ground floor have segmental heads. The central entrance has a four-panelled door with radiating wooden glazing bars to a semicircular fanlight, set in plain reveals with a moulded wooden doorcase, keyblock, and flat hood on shaped brackets. To the right are three blind stable bays with arched panels below and square panels above. A 20th-century three-light casement window is located in the upper storey of the right gable. The rear of the house exhibits irregular altered openings. The left side of the house has irregular windows, including two two-light horizontal sashes to the upper storey, and a door within a 20th-century gabled porch. Two blind arched panels are also present.
Behind the rear wing of the house is a dairy, formerly a coach-house, with a large blind semicircular archway. Attached to the far left wing are more stable bays, partially used as a garage, with lean-to extensions to the outer wall. Along the yard side of the stable bays are windows and blind panels to the left, an arched opening leading to the stairs at the left, an arched central stable door with flanking pitching eyes in blind arched panels, and 20th-century garage doors to the right. Along the east side of the yard are cow-houses, partly altered, with vent slits in the rear wall. A small three-bay barn, with blocked vent slits, a partly blocked central cart entry, and a blind arched panel in the left bay, adjoins the north end of the cow-houses at a right angle. Other outbuildings attached to the north of this barn are not of architectural interest.
The rear wing of the house retains late 18th-century features, while the front wing was remodelled internally in the mid-19th century. The dairy contains original thrawts and a cheese press.
