Description
Manor House Farmhouse is a 16th or 17th century timber-framed house that has been plastered. It features a steep black glazed pantile roof with gabled ends and a large central brick chimney stack with octagonal shafts and moulded brick bases. The building is two storeys high with an attic, which includes an attic window in the end gable. There are two widely spaced windows that are a mix of 19th century and modern 3 and 4-light casements. A central modern glazed door is located in front of the chimney stack. At the rear, there is a wing that forms an L-shaped plan, dating from the 17th century, which is also plastered timber-frame and has two storeys and an attic, with a steep pantile roof and a gabled end.
