Description
Manor House Farmhouse is a house with an 18th century facade that has an earlier core dated 1635. It is built of brick in Flemish bond with colored headers and features black glazed pantiles on the first four bays of the front, while the rest of the roof is also covered with pantiles. The building consists of two sections under a continuous roof, with a single range of 6½ bays on the left and 2 lower bays on the right, where the first-floor walls are raised to the eaves level of the left bays. The house has two storeys and an attic.
The left side has 6½ bays with a platband of moulded brick and a dentil cornice. There is a doorway in the sixth bay with a 19th century door that has a glazed upper part, situated under a rectangular light. The windows are cross windows with glazing bars, and there are half-width windows to the half bay to the right of the door. The windows and door from the second to the end half bay have skew back arches made of soft thin gauged bricks. The ground floor window in the first bay has been renewed under a later wider arch. The first-floor windows are set under soldier arches, and there are blocked windows in the first, third, and fifth bays of the first floor, as well as in the third bay of the ground floor. The third bay serves as a chimney bay with an axial chimney.
To the right, there are two storeys with two bays constructed of pebble flint with brick dressings and a dentil cornice. There is a door to the left and two-light casements on the ground and first floors of the right bay, along with an end axial stack. A single-storey lean-to is present on the right-hand gable, also covered with pantiles. The left-hand gable is made of brick with a moulded platband and a flint base, featuring two blocked windows on the first floor and one blocked and rendered window in the attic.
At the rear, there is a rendered outshut for the stair located behind the third (chimney) bay, with a lower wall to the right made of coursed flint. A continuous single-storey lean-to in three builds extends to the left, with no windows in the upper wall. The left two bays are made of pebble flint, with upper walls of brick.
Inside, the house has three cells, with the stack in bay three encased. There is a fragment of painted plaster in the left cell chimney bay featuring black letter text and the date 1635. The central cell is now partitioned and has jewel stepped chamfered beams, while the right cell has roll moulded beams with step chamfer stops. The attic floor is lower, and the roof timbers were renewed in the 19th century.
