Manor Farmhouse And Manor Farm Cottage

Manor Farmhouse and Manor Farm Cottage is a farm building that has been divided into two houses. It likely dates from the 17th century, with extensions added in the late 18th or early 19th century, and further extensions in the late 19th century. The structure is primarily timber-framed but has mostly been covered in red brick. It features a clay plain tile roof with gabled ends and brick axial stacks.

The building has a long, five-bay layout. At the southeast end, there is a two-bay timber frame, with Manor Farm Cottage occupying the right bay and Manor Farmhouse in the left bay. Manor Farmhouse includes a two-bay extension from the 18th or 19th century on the northwest side and an additional one-bay extension from the late 19th century at the left end. There are also small late 19th-century outshuts and a wing at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical seven-window southwest front. It features two-light casements with glazing bars, with larger windows on the ground floor that have cambered brick arches. There are doorways to the right and to the right of centre, both with plank doors. The left bay is set back and has slanting eaves. The northeast side reveals exposed timber-framing on the left, with plaster and brick infill and a tension brace. There are single-storey brick outshuts and a gable-ended brick wing on the left.

Inside, Manor Farm Cottage has a ground floor room with a deeply chamfered axial beam without stops and a large fireplace that has a concealed bressumer and a shelf above supported by brackets. The first-floor rooms have chamfered axial and cross-beams with cyma and straight-cut stops, along with exposed wall-framing. Manor Farmhouse features an exposed timber frame on the northwest end wall, which is now inside, resting on a stone plinth, and a later fireplace with a cambered unchamfered timber bressumer. The roof over the original southeast end consists of two bays with large scarfed purlins and thin wind-braces, common rafters with a diagonally-set ridgepiece, and a collar truss. The northwest end has a 19th-century common-rafter roof.
