Description
Manor Farmhouse and the adjoining barns to the east are a farmhouse and barns dating from the early 17th century, partly rebuilt around 1700, with some late 19th-century alterations. They are constructed from dressed yellow and grey Hoar Edge Grit sandstone, with parts rebuilt in brick, and feature plain tile roofs. The farmhouse is designed in an L-shape, with the hall range rebuilt around 1700 and a 17th-century cross-wing to the left. It has one storey and an attic. The cross-wing has a chamfered plinth and two 19th-century gabled brick eaves dormers on the right, which contain 2-light wooden casements. There is a brick ridge stack located off-centre to the left. The left-hand cross-wing features double-chamfered stone windows on each floor, although the original stone mullions have been replaced with 19th-century three-light wooden casements. The hall range to the right has two 2-light wooden casements with keyed lintels, flanking a 20th-century half-glazed door also with a keyed lintel. There is a blocked doorway off-centre to the right with a keyed lintel. The interior of the house has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest. The hall range was probably rebuilt around 1700, as indicated by the keyed lintels.
The adjoining L-shaped barns to the right date from the mid-17th century and are constructed with a weatherboarded and corrugated clad timber frame set on a high sandstone rubble plinth, topped with a corrugated iron roof. The barns consist of two framed bays with square panels, three from the sole plate to the wall plate. They have scattered openings and boarded doors. The interiors have not been inspected but are noted for features including tie-beam trusses with raking struts, collar and tie-beam end trusses with queen struts and v-struts, and butt purlins with wind braces. The farmhouse and attached barns are situated at a prominent corner position in the village.
