Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with additions and alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a timber-framed structure that is roughcast rendered, with sections of red brick and lighter red brick that have gauged brick dressings, as well as 19th-century yellow gault brick. The original plain tile roofs have been replaced with C20 ridged plain tiles. The building has two storeys and an attic, with five bays on the northeast elevation that was refronted in 18th-century red brick. The central bay is slightly advanced and has a plain gabled roof. A brick band runs between the floors, raised over flat gauged brick window arches.
The main entrance is located to the right of the central bay and features a moulded wooden architrave and a glazed, panelled 19th-century door. To the left of the entrance is a canted bay window with a pediment and hung sash windows. There are two casement windows on the first and attic floors above, with additional windows including two ground floor and one first floor casement windows to the left, and two ground floor and first floor flush-framed twelve-paned hung sash windows to the right. The building has two rear wings, with one to the west recently demolished.
Inside, there are raised and fielded panelled doors with original hinges and shutters on the windows. The staircase features a moulded handrail, and the original side purlin roof includes one bay with wind braces and internal timber-framed partitions.
