Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1692, located in Morborne. It features mid to late 19th century extensions and alterations. The building is constructed from coursed rubble limestone with Ketton stone dressings and some 19th century red brick. It has Collyweston stone slate roofs with parapet gables, along with a red brick ridge stack and a rear stack. The farmhouse is two storeys high with attics and has an L-plan layout, with the original three-unit range facing north-west.
The original doorway is located to the left of center and has moulded and stopped jambs. It was originally topped with a four-centred head, which has been altered to a flat arch with a moulded cornice. Above the doorway is a plain stone with the date and a panel featuring a carved achievement of quartered arms of the Forrests of Morborne, along with the initials A.F. and later incised initials M.G.W. The windows have wooden lintels, including two ground floor casement windows and one twelve-paned hung sash window, as well as two first floor iron framed casement windows and one blocked window on the right side. There is a 19th century side entrance in an open brick porch.
The interior has been altered, featuring an inserted 19th century staircase. A stone chimney piece in the south-west first floor room has details similar to the doorway. The ceiling beams are ogee-moulded and stop-chamfered. Additionally, there is a 19th century flower-arranging sink in the hallway. Manor Farmhouse is one of three remaining buildings from the original village, which can be clearly seen in aerial photographs.
