Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1840. It is constructed of brick and has a pantiled roof. The building is designed in a double pile layout and features a facade that is two storeys high with three bays. The side bays are recessed, creating clasping pilasters at the corners. There is a square portico supported by Tuscan columns and rear pilasters. The cornice is made of rebuilt brick. The entrance consists of a half-glazed panelled door beneath a rectangular overlight. There is one sash window on each side of the door, both with glazing bars, and three sash windows on the first floor, all topped with gauged skewback arches. The west facade is similar but lacks the portico and has false middle windows.
