Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 16th century, with a main range from the 17th century and later additions from the late 17th and late 18th centuries, along with 19th-century alterations. The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring some incised pargetted decoration, painted brick, and a partly weatherboarded plinth, all topped with plain tile roofs. The main range has a ridge stack with three diagonally grouped shafts, while a late 17th-century ridge stack on the crosswing has been rebuilt, and there is a rear gable end stack to the northwest.
The house is two storeys high and has a U-plan layout formed by a lobby entry with a three-unit plan, where one unit to the south forms a crosswing that was extended to the west in the 17th century, including a staircase turret at the angle. The 16th-century range to the north was rebuilt in the late 17th century as a service wing and was attached in the 19th century to a late 18th-century dairy. The staircase turret was remodeled in the 19th century to serve as the main entrance, while the original east-facing entrance has been recently relocated.
On the east elevation, there are two ground floor horizontal sliding sash windows and a boarded door, with two 20th-century casement windows to the right. The first floor features four horizontal sliding sash windows and one wooden latticed window for the cheese room of the dairy. Inside, there is a large cooking hearth in the service wing, although the baking oven has been recently removed, and clunch hearths are present in two central rooms. The interior also includes chamfered and ovolo-moulded ceiling beams and a solid wooden staircase.
