Description
Manor Farmhouse is a large farmhouse from the 19th century that incorporates parts of earlier buildings. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and has an old clay tile roof. The building has two storeys. The front elevation features two projecting gabled wings on either side of a central porch. Each wing contains one three-light sash window with stone mullions, positioned above ground floor canted bays. The gabled porch is adorned with decorated barge boards and a central drop finial. The left-hand projecting gable has one wing that extends at a right angle, while another wing runs parallel to it and is located behind the main wing, creating a double pile plan.
