Description

The Manor House at Bowhills Farm is a farmhouse dated 1602, with additions and alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond, with rubble stone on the southwest elevation, and features clay plain tile roofs. The building has an axial stone stack with diagonally-set brick shafts, as well as brick gable-end stacks.

The house has a T-shaped plan with a cross-wing on the right. There is a porch in the front angle and a stair tower in the rear angle. The structure is two storeys high with an attic. The southeast front has the cross-wing on the right, which features a crow-stepped gable. To the left is a two-storey porch with a 19th-century cambered arch doorway, and above it is an 18th or 19th-century window opening with a stone lintel. The principal range to the left has a stone stringcourse and timber cross-mullion-transom windows with iron casements and keyed stone lintels. The ground floor has two blocked openings and remnants of a 19th-century three-light wood mullion-transom window with a cambered arch. The first floor has three bricked-up openings and a datestone below the eaves. There is also a gabled dormer.

The cross-wing has a 19th-century four-light wood mullion-transom window with a cambered arch, a bricked-up opening on the first floor, and a blocked three-light brick mullioned window in the gable. The right-hand return of the cross-wing has two bays with 19th-century three and four-light mullion-transom windows, mostly with cambered arches.

The rear elevation features the cross-wing on the left with a crow-stepped gable and a brick external stack. There are two gabled ranges in the angle to the right, one of which is a stair tower, with various openings that mostly have stone lintels and are mostly blocked. There is a small roofless outshut on the front and a large roofless lean-to outshut on the right.

Inside, there is a 17th-century staircase with a moulded string, panelled newels with pendants, large turned balusters, and a heavy moulded handrail. The interior also features 18th-century doorcases and a 19th-century fireplace.
