Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century, featuring a main block with an earlier, lower block to the side. The building is constructed of brick and has black and red pantile roofs. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a facade that includes three bays of sash windows with glazing bars, all set beneath skewback arches with cambered soffits. The front door is a two-leaf design with raised and fielded panels, framed by a simple doorcase that includes panelled pilasters and a pediment. The house has rusticated quoins, a dentil cornice, and a central axial stack. The side block has a simple, partly rebuilt curved gable and a gable-end stack, along with small blocked windows next to the stack, a tall plinth, and a shallow central niche in the gable featuring a semicircular head with projecting impost and base blocks. The main block has a continuous outshut and two dormers at the rear. Additionally, there is a single-storey gabled extension with a decorative barge board on the side block.
