Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It features a timber-framed construction with colourwashed roughcast render and a clay tile roof. The building has an H-plan layout, with a central block that is two storeys high and has attics, along with cross-wings that are also two storeys tall. Most of the windows are early 20th-century casements with leaded lights, including a rectangular bay window on the ground floor of the left-hand gable and gabled dormers on the central block. There is a tall staircase window to the left of the central block. The central block has a 20th-century glazed door set within an open porch that has a flat hood, along with part-glazed double doors flanked by side-lights. Red brick external multiple stacks are located on the side walls of both cross-wings. Inside, the ground floor room of the left-hand cross-wing features a late 16th-century wooden fire surround, which includes coats of arms in wood inlay representing various branches of the Butler family. The coat of arms in the central pedimented bay belongs to Henry Butler, who died in 1608 and likely installed the chimney piece.
