Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a house that likely has two building phases, dating from the mid-17th century and 1687. The structure is primarily made of red brick, which has been painted, but it also features timber framing that is plaster rendered on the first floor of the front range. The roofs are tiled, with a rebuilt red brick chimney stack at the junction of the front and rear ranges, as well as end stacks that have also been rebuilt. The ends of the house are parapetted and supported by kneelers.

The building is arranged in an L-shape, with the front range likely originating from the mid-17th century. This range may have been timber-framed and plaster rendered, with the ground floor and end walls replaced by red brick in 1687 when the house was extended to the rear. The house has two storeys and an attic, featuring two original gable dormers with a 17th-century triangular pattern pargetted panel above three-light sliding sash windows. Each storey has two hung sash windows, and there is a slightly off-centre doorway within a 19th-century porch.

The rear range, dated 1687, has initials "T M H" (for Thomas and Mary Holder) inscribed on a panel on the side wall. This range also has two storeys and an attic, with two hipped dormers on the north side. The original window openings have segmented arches and now contain four-pane hung sash windows. A contemporary band runs between the two storeys, spanning the window and door openings. There are similar segmental arches and three windows, all from the 19th century except for one that retains its original architrave.

At the north end of the front range, there is a brick stair turret with one small window opening on each storey, featuring late 17th-century mullions and surrounds. The service end has a late arched opening that provided cartway access to the dairy, along with another opening on the north side that passes through both the ground and first storeys; both of these openings are now blocked.

Inside, there are abutting inglenook hearths, one of which has had its jamb extended and underbuilt, possibly during the rebuilding of the ground floor and end walls in brick around 1687. The original newel staircase leads from the hall, and some timber framing is exposed internally on the first floor.
