Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been divided into two properties. It was originally a 14th-century hall house, remodeled in the 16th century and altered with additions in 1916. The structure is partly timber framed, now with brick and carstone additions, and features a pantiled roof with an L-shaped plan.
The south front has two storeys, with 20th-century windows on the ground floor beneath 16th-century hood moulds on labels. There are gabled roof parapets at both ends where the construction changes. The ridge stack has quadruple diamond flues. To the right, the original house is mostly hidden by a two-storey addition from 1916, leaving only the entrance and east bays visible, which have porch and window details from the 20th century. The west gable is offset at the eaves with an attic storey and features one 20th-century casement window on each floor under 16th-century hoods on labels. The rear has been significantly altered and is now one storey, with a three-light hollow chamfered window to the left and a five-light diamond mullioned casement to the right that lights the hall. There is a gabled extension from 1935.
Inside, chamfered and tongue-stopped bridging beams were inserted in the hall during the 17th century, which is now divided by a partition wall. The timber framing from the 14th century survives on the east side, with octagonal posts on bases extending through both floors to polygonal roll-moulded capitals. The wall posts rise higher, and double arched braces extend to the tie beam and transversely to the wall plate. The roof in this section has two tiers of butt purlins and collars, while the west side is similar but features taper tenons.
