Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse comprising three distinct builds, dating from the late 17th century, with later alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The east-west wing was built in the late 17th century and remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries. A north-south wing was added in 1736, and a western extension in 1851. The farmhouse is constructed of brick with occasional burnt headers, and has a pantiled roof, with black glazed tiles to the southern roof slopes.

The original east-west wing was initially a single storey with a dormer attic; this was raised to two storeys in the 18th century. A central 20th-century porch with a concave pediment has been added. The ground floor features a late 19th-century three-light casement window on either side, both set within segmental arches. Two sash windows are on the first floor. A dentil eaves cornice sits below the gabled roof. There is a western ridge stack, and an internal end stack at the west gable. The rear of this section has 20th-century ground floor casements and a conservatory. The first floor has three sash windows.

The north-south wing, dated 1736 on the south gable, is two storeys with a dormer attic, and terminates in Dutch gables to the north and south. A platband runs along the eaves line, and a further platband is placed at the first-floor level on both the front and rear. The east elevation includes a 20th-century lean-to outbuilding and a sash window with glazing bars set within a gauged skewback arch, along with one blind window. The first floor has a similar sash window along with two blind windows. The gabled roof includes one gabled dormer. There’s an internal south gable end stack. The rear elevation is lit by two sash windows to each floor, all with glazing bars and gauged skewback arches.

A two-storey 19th-century block is located to the west, containing one window bay. It features sash windows with glazing bars, set within gauged skewback arches, and a Dutch gable to the west. It has a gabled roof.
