Description

Manor Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century. It has a timber-framed structure with pebbledash render and a clay tile roof, designed in a T-plan layout and consisting of two storeys. The front elevation features a cross-wing that has one three-light casement window on each floor, while the main block also has one three-light casement window on each floor, along with a part-glazed door to the left under a tiled gabled hood. There is a red brick multiple ridge stack on the cross-wing and a red brick integral stack on the southwest gable end. Additionally, there is a single-storey gabled addition to the southwest, a 20th-century flat-roofed addition at the rear, and outhouses to the northeast.
