Manor Farm House

Manor Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with modifications made in the early 19th century. It is constructed of local red brick with moulded and rubbed brick details, and has 20th-century plain tiled roofs. The building is two storeys high with an attic and features a main east-west range that includes a central two-storey porch. At the rear, there is an L-shaped plan formed by a two-storey and a single-storey range, along with two single-storey extensions to the east.

The south elevation has a symmetrical facade highlighted by an original central two-storey gabled porch. This porch has a segmental arched opening with ogee-moulded brick jambs, although the inner doorway has been sealed for a 19th-century staircase, and the main entrance has been moved to the west. Above the archway, there is a blocked window. On the ground floor, there are two five-light wooden casement windows with wooden boarded round arches above the central lights, supported by brick relieving arches. The first floor also has two five-light windows. The facade features a brick plinth, a moulded brick band between the floors, and a sawtooth brick eaves cornice, which continues on the rear elevations. Moulded gable parapet corbels that were originally present have been removed around 1965. The central ridge stack is square in plan and has a sawtooth brick cornice, with arabesque and geometric patterned moulded bricks in the frieze and four cylindrical stacks.

Inside, the original plan remains largely intact with slight modifications, including a passageway on the ground floor and the resiting of the staircase from its original position to the north of the stack. The rear staircase in the outshut has been rebuilt with reduced symmetrical turned balusters. The main range has sealed hearths, while the kitchen hearth, which originally included a baking oven, along with the bakehouse and brewhouse hearths, are intact with their original mantel beams. The ceilings feature stop-chamfered beams, and there are raised-and-fielded panelled doors along with other early 19th-century details. The rear door facing east is believed to have been the entrance used for the manor court room.
