Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house dating from 1590, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed from coursed squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with raised stone coped gables, a single ball finial, a single gable funnel, and quadruple funnel gable and ridge stacks with moulded cornices. The building has a T-plan and is two storeys high with an irregular five-bay front that includes a plinth.
The off-centre gabled porch is two storeys tall and has a planked door set in a chamfered four-centred arched surround with a moulded hood. To the left of the porch is a two-light mullioned window, followed by a four-fixed-light 19th-century window with slender timber mullions and a segmental head. To the right, there are two four-light mullioned windows. On the first floor, there is another 19th-century four-light window to the left, along with a single three-light window and two four-light mullioned windows. All the mullioned windows feature cavetto moulded mullions and moulded heads. A rectangular stone on the gable of the porch displays the date 1590 beneath a moulded cornice.
