Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1660, with alterations and extensions made around 1830, as well as changes in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in English bond and features a pantile roof with steeply pitched, raised brick coped tumbled gables and moulded kneelers. The building has two gable stacks with moulded tops and central vertical strips, along with a single narrower ridge stack.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with a garret and has a four-bay front that includes a plinth and a first-floor band. The ground floor features a half-glazed door that is covered by a 20th-century extension, flanked by glazing bar sash windows and a two-light French window on the left. The first floor has three additional sash windows, all of which have segmental brick heads. At the rear, there are two 19th-century extensions.
Inside, the farmhouse has roll moulded and stopped beams, an early 19th-century staircase with a carved string, a wreathed handrail, and turned slender balusters. In the kitchen, there is a chamfered fireplace bressummer with diamond stops. The roof is constructed with clasped purlins made of softwood.
