Description

Manor Farmhouse is an estate farmhouse, now functioning as a house, dated 1864, though it may be a remodelling of an earlier structure. It has undergone mid and late 20th century alterations. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features steep pitched concrete tile roofs. It displays two rectangular stone valley stacks with chamfered copings, along with a similar square ridge stack, all in the Tudor Revival style. The farmhouse has a plinth, quoins, and coped gables, and is two storeys high with two bays.

The windows are primarily late 20th century plastic framed casements with chamfered stone surrounds. The plan is irregular and cruciform. The front elevation features a gabled wing on the left with a two-light window and a slit breather above it. Below this wing are two single light windows. To the right is a gabled porch with a round-arched opening that covers a 19th century half-glazed door, above which is a datestone displaying the Brownlow monogram. To the right of the porch is another single light window.

The right return of the building has two gabled wings, with the right wing set back and featuring a three-light stone mullioned window above, along with two single light windows below. The left wing has a mid 20th century wooden cross casement and below it is a 19th century canted stone bay window with two lights and a hipped plain tile roof. This farmhouse was provided by the Brownlow family of Belton House.
