Description
Mantills Farmhouse is a 17th-century house located on an L-plan. It features a timber frame with plastering and is weatherboarded on the southeast gable. The building has two storeys, with a one-storey wing and attics extending to the southeast. The roofs are ridged and gabled, covered with peg tiles. There is a red brick concertina chimney stack on the two-storey section and a square red brick chimney from the 18th century on the extension wing. The house includes one gabled dormer window, and most of the windows have been replaced with modern casements.
