Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later. It is constructed of flint with brick dressings on the original parts, while the rest is made of brick. The roofs are covered with pantiles. This is a lobby entrance type house, with the western half rebuilt in brick in the late 18th century. The building has two storeys with an attic and features 2-, 3-, and 4-light 18th-century mullion and transom casement windows with segmental heads on the south facade, along with a modern flat-roofed porch opposite the stack. There is an original blocked opening above the porch. At the rear, there is a two-storey gabled porch with an attic, which has two windows (one of which is blocked) and an entrance that retains rectangular hood moulds. The porch is flanked by later outshuts. A massive axial stack features six octagonal shafts. Inside, there is a winding stair located between the stack and the two-storey porch, along with an original brick arched fireplace, an 18th-century coved recess, and some raised and fielded panelled doors.
