Description
Manor Farmhouse, dating to around 1833 (as evidenced by a dated brick), is a farmhouse of local chequered brick construction with a hipped slate roof. It follows a double pile plan. The front elevation features a central front door, partly glazed and set within a moulded surround topped with a triangular pediment. The ground floor windows, and those on the first floor, are casement windows with glazing bars, all set beneath flat arches. A dentil eaves course runs along the top of the building. A single-storey service wing is attached to the rear.
