Description

Manor Farm Cottage and Manor Farm is a range of 18th century and 19th century houses that were originally converted into a single dwelling and have now been converted into two separate dwellings. The buildings are constructed from coursed limestone rubble and are two storeys high. The northern section, dating from the 18th century, features a steeply pitched roof that is now covered in concrete tiles. It has four casement windows with glazing bars on each storey. The southern section, from the 19th century, has a shallower pitched roof covered with Welsh slates and includes two three-light casement windows with glazing bars on each floor. The property is listed for its group value.
