Description
Manor Farmhouse is a 19th-century house built from coursed limestone rubble and topped with a Welsh slate roof. It has an E-shaped plan and consists of two storeys with attics. The house features moulded stone eaves and a finial at the apex of the porch wing. The attic has three casement windows arranged in a 1:1:1 pattern, while the first floor has three sash windows in the same arrangement. On the ground floor, there is a sash window on the left-hand gable end, and a four-panel door set in a recessed porch, which is flanked by two narrow sash windows with glazing bars. The right-hand gable includes a canted bay window on the ground floor.
