Description
Manor Farmhouse is a 17th-century timber-frame house. The exterior is rendered, and the roof is steep, covered with pantiles and featuring gabled ends. A central chimney stack is constructed of brick. The house has a projecting gabled wing to the west, creating an L-shaped plan. It is two storeys high, and the windows are modern casements with glazing bars. A central French window is located within a modern porch, which was under construction during a survey in 1977. A moat is situated to the northwest of the house.
