Manor Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Built in the early 17th century. The house is timber-framed and has been plastered over. It has plain tile roofs, with a hipped section and a gablet on the left-hand side. The exterior is flint with gault brick dressings. The house has two storeys and attics, with a continuous jetty to the main range and a jettied cross-wing to the west. Original cusped bargeboards are present, along with a decorated finial on the north gable of the cross-wing. There is a brick ridge stack and a stack to the cross-wing. The windows include four first-floor windows: two horizontal sliding sash windows, one twelve-paned hung sash window, and one casement window. A boarded door is located to the left of a canted bay window, with a half-glazed panelled door to the right, a casement window with shutters, and a twelve-paned hung sash window to the cross-wing. There is one hung sash window in a flint extension to the left. The interior features early 18th-century panelling and a staircase, a Dutch cast iron and brass fireplace with Delft tiles, and is documented in the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments for East Cambridgeshire, page 61, and in Hunt’s Cambridge, Peterborough Life, volume 6, number 68, page 14.
