Description
Manor Farm Cottage is a small house dating to the later 17th century. It is characterised by an exposed timber frame with whitewashed brick infill. A substantial flint and red brick chimney stack rises from the right gable end. The steeply pitched roof is covered in plain tiles, and it is punctuated by two large plastered gabled dormers, each with a three-light casement window. The ground floor also features two similar casement windows. A door is centrally positioned on the left side of the facade. The cottage is one storey high with attics.
