Description

Manor Farmhouse is a 17th-century house that has been altered in the 20th century. It is rendered and features a hipped slate roof. The building has a three-unit lobby-entry plan, is two storeys high, and consists of five bays. The windows are 20th-century oak casements with plain reveals and brick sills. The second bay includes a single-storey 20th-century stone porch with a hipped roof and a doorway in its left-hand return wall. A rear wing is partly constructed of exposed stone rubble and brick. On the first floor, the rear wall of the main house has a horizontal sliding sash window with glazing bars.

Inside, each of the three main ground-floor rooms has a large chamfered axial ceiling beam. The left-hand room features exposed ceiling joists and a chamfered bressumer above its inglenook fireplace. The middle room has a fireplace with a bressumer that has an ovolo moulding. An early to mid-18th-century oak staircase rises from the middle room, featuring an open string with two turned balusters for each tread, tread brackets, and a newel post with sunken panels. The upper part of the staircase is enclosed by a four-panel door.
