Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse, largely dating to 1711, with a rear wing possibly from the late 17th century. It has undergone alterations and additions, including a partial refronting in the mid- to late-19th century. The front range is constructed of Flemish bond red brick with rusticated limestone quoins on the left-hand side. The left wing to the rear is of regular coursed ironstone. A rear wall of the wing is of red brick. The roof is tiled, with brick end stacks. The building is in an L-shaped plan, extended to a U-plan with rear wings.

The two-storey, four-window front range has a central, open-fronted porch with clasping buttresses rising above the roofline and a coped gable parapet, with the date "1711" inscribed in the gable. A brick archway provides access to the porch, with round-arched windows on its sides. A flush six-panelled door is set beneath an overlight with decorative glazing. To the left of the entrance, a 19th- or 20th-century French window has been inserted into two blocked windows, each with gauged brick flat arches and keystones. A three-light casement is placed to the right of the porch within a reduced opening, situated below a gauged brick flat arch. The first-floor windows are positioned high in the wall. These are two-light 19th-century casements with glazing bars. Painted wood lintels are present across the building. The return side to the right has single-light windows. A lower two-window stone range has a plinth. The ground floor features three-light casements with numerous glazing bars, set beneath stone lintels with keyblocks and hood moulds. The first floor has two-light, cavetto-moulded mullioned windows. A single-storey range to the right incorporates a similar three-light window.

The wing to the yard features a brick dentil cornice. The fenestration is irregular, with 19th and 20th-century casements. The main range has a mid-20th-century window inserted into a blocked doorway with an overlight and a brick flat arch with a keystone. The first floor has two further two-light casements. The right wing is a two-window range facing the yard, with a central plank door and two- and three-light casements with many glazing bars. All openings on this wing have brick segmental arches, with additional windows inserted above. The gable end has a brick and stone external staircase leading to a segmental arched doorway. A brick lean-to to the rear of the main range has an ashlar plinth and a blind or blocked window with a flat arch. This may be the remains of an 18th-century range; the corner of the main range exhibits alternating quoins running in the wrong direction.

Internally, the rear wing features ceiling beams and a straight flight of stairs. The front range has an early 18th-century six-panelled door, as well as 19th-century fireplaces.
