Description
Manor Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse located on the east side of High Street in Offord Cluny. It features a gable end facing the road and was enlarged in the early 17th century with the addition of jettied wings. In the late 17th century, a two-storey range was added to the road, which was extended by one bay to the south. The original late 16th-century structure is timber framed and rendered, with plain tile gabled roofs and an original red brick ridge stack. The building is one storey with attics, and the north side has a five-gabled oriel window at the first floor, featuring three leaded lights with cyma and roll moulding to the mullions. The ground floor has an original casement window.
In the early 17th century, a stair turret was added to the north side, which is jettied on two sides and has a dragon beam at the angle. The gabled roof of the turret runs parallel to the original 16th-century range. The south wing, added around the same time, is one bay and jettied, with 18th-century horizontal sliding sashes on each floor. The late 17th-century northwest wing, facing the road, is also timber framed and rendered, with a plain tiled roof and a large projecting stack on the rear wall. This wing has two storeys, each with three late 17th-century or early 18th-century casements of three leaded lights with smaller header lights. The main entry is now located in the south wall of the 16th-century house.
Inside, the 16th-century house consists of three bays. The hall features a large, sealed inglenook, and the chamber above also has a hearth. Originally, this chamber had a window in the south wall, but it was blocked when the jettied bay was added in the early 17th century. The ground floor room in this bay has 18th-century panelled cupboards with a dentilled cornice. The late 17th-century northwest wing contains a large inglenook at the ground floor.
