Description
Manor Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse, with 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of red brick with thick render, and has a concrete tile roof with red-tiled coped gables, kneelers, and brick gable stacks. The two-storey, three-bay design features a first-floor band and decorated eaves. The central doorway has been blocked and is now flanked by single windows; the north window has a plain sash, while the south window contains a glazing bar sash and a wooden lintel. Above the door, a blocked window is flanked by single windows – the north with a plain sash and wooden lintel, and the south with a 20th-century casement window with glazing bars. A two-storey bow extends from the north front, also featuring a shallow first-floor band and decorated eaves, with a single glazing bar sash on each floor. Irregular 20th-century windows are found elsewhere on the north front.
