Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early and late 16th century. It is timber-framed, faced, and partly encased in late 19th-century red brick, with the remainder rendered. The roof is covered with a mix of clay and black-glazed pantiles. An internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft is located between the lower and higher ends of the house. The building has two storeys and an attic in parts. There are various 20th-century casement windows, along with one large four-light reproduction mullion-and-transome window.

The older section of the house, to the west of the stack, consists of three bays, divided on the ground floor into a two-bay main room and an adjoining service room. The main room features a plain exposed ceiling with unchamfered joists. Evidence of a large five-light diamond-mullioned window can be seen in the front wall. The upper floor is a large room with two open trusses, cambered tie-beams, and long solid arched braces, with the rafters ceiled off and inaccessible. There are blocked original diamond-mullioned windows in the side and gable walls.

To the east of the stack is a late 16th-century parlour wing, which is integral to the stack. The ground-floor ceiling features very fine cross-beams with multiple roll-mouldings, roll-moulded joists, and a cornice. The moulding continues down all the main posts. In the gable wall, which was originally jettied, there was a mullion-and-transome oriel window, along with short flanking side windows that still have the moulded mullions. There are plain timber lintels above both ground and first-floor fireplaces, and the original upper ceilings remain intact. A newel stair is located beside the stack.
