Manor Farmhouse And Adjoining Farm Buildings

The property comprises a farmhouse and adjoining farm buildings, dating to the late 16th century, with alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The farmhouse is close-studded timber framing, constructed with coursed rubble and brick, partly rendered. It has rubble plinths, first-floor bands, cogged and dentillated eaves, coped gables, and four gable and three ridge stacks. The plan is in a “T” shape. Windows are primarily 19th-century sashes and mid-20th-century casements. The street front has a brick boundary wall with a boarded door to the left, followed by two breather openings and three casements of varying sizes with segmental heads. Above, there is a casement with a segmental head on the left, and a blank panel on the right. The south side features a triple sash window on each floor, with a small casement above to the right. The west side has a doorway in plain jambs, flanked by a triple sash and a triple casement. To the right is an 18th-century two-story addition, incorporating a mid-20th-century lean-to porch with a door and timber lintel. This addition also includes casements with segmental heads, a door with a timber lintel, and a door with a segmental head. On the upper floor of the addition is a close-studded bay with two curved braces, three casements, a casement, three tiers of pigeonholes, a close-boarded door, and a stable and cartshed.

The stable and cartshed, dating to the mid-19th century, are single-story brick structures with pantile roofs and a banded gable, spanning three bays wide by three bays deep. The west front has three stable doors and a pair of carriage entry doors to the right. The north front has three openings supported by wooden posts. The west gable has a hatch with a segmental head above. The roof is a softwood king post structure with struts.

The rear elevation includes a pigeoncote with two square openings, a casement with a segmental head, a lean-to addition with two casements and a return angle door, a further door and casement, a casement, and a timber-framed section with struts, incorporating 20th and 19th century casements. A return angle has two casements on each floor.

Internally, a rear wing features two pairs of bay posts, one jowled, with straight struts, along with chamfered span beams with run-out stops. There are also two pairs of fitted panelled cupboards from the 18th century, and an early 19th-century basket grate within a reeded surround.
