Description
Old Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1638, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is timber-framed with rendered infill on a rubble base, and the front has been refaced with brick in a patterned Flemish bond using red stretchers and yellow headers, along with some limestone rubble walling. The roof is partly covered with limestone tiles laid in diminishing courses and partly with plain tiles. The ashlar stacks have moulded capping, with the north end stack dated 1638.
The building has a hall and cross-wing plan; the hall section consists of three bays and includes a through-passage bay aligned north/south, featuring a large chimney that backs onto the passage. The cross-wing, located at the north end, has two bays and a large external ashlar chimney with offsets and moulded capping, also dated 1638. The farmhouse has a single storey and an attic with dormers. The framing includes a collar and tie-beam truss with two collars, three struts to the lower collar, two to the upper collar, and a V-strut in the apex at the south gable end.
On the east front elevation, the hall part features a 3-light 19th-century casement window with a cambered head, alongside an original 3-light stone chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor. There are three pebbledashed gabled dormers with 3-light 19th-century casements. The main entrance has a cambered stone head with relief mouldings in the spandrels and stone jambs inscribed with the initials of the Baldwyn family, leading to a 20th-century door. The cross-wing gable end has both ground floor and attic windows, which are 3-light 19th-century casements with cambered heads, along with an attic light in the south gable end. A rubble addition, likely a former dairy, is attached to the rear left of the house.
Inside, the timber-framing is exposed, showcasing the original roof structure with a collar and tie-beam truss. The main rooms feature stop-chamfered main ceiling beams and joists, while the doors off the passageway have moulded architraves. There are large fireplaces in three main ground floor rooms. The house was formerly the home of the Baldwyn family.
