Manor Farm House

Manor Farm House is an estate farmhouse dating to 1876, designed by Philip Webb, with minor alterations made in the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond. The steeply pitched red pantile roof has deep sprocketed eaves and a wooden balustrade at the apex. Symmetrically arranged brick axial stacks are present.

The house has a double-depth square plan with an entrance hall, staircase positioned behind the right-hand room, and a single-storey service wing surrounding a small yard at the rear. The architectural style is a 'Queen Anne' domestic revival.

The building is two storeys and an attic. The south front is symmetrical with three bays. It features narrow eight-pane sashes on the ground floor, each with a segmental relieving arch and herringbone brickwork within the tympanum. First-floor windows are two- and three-light casements with glazing bars. The central recessed porch has a wide segmental brick arch, comprised of four arches on splayed jambs with plain polygonal brick capitals; niches within the porch have rubbled brick shell canopies and wooden seats. A glazed and panelled door with a rectangular overlight provides access. A pair of central axial stacks flank a flat roof dormer. A deep corbelled brick stringcourse runs at first-floor level around the house. The east return has a canted bay on the ground floor's left side and a hipped dormer. The west side has a late 20th-century conservatory. The rear and sides echo the front, with similar sashes on the ground floor and casements on the first floor. The single-storey service wing to the rear has a hipped pantile roof that extends over an east-side verandah supported by wooden posts.

Much of the original joinery remains, including an open-well stick baluster staircase with ball finials to the newels. Single bolection-moulded fireplaces with shelves are found on the first floor and in the attic; the ground-floor fireplaces are replacements. A large kitchen fireplace with a segmental arch features a kitchen dresser. A good scullery-back kitchen fireplace has a high, jettied lintel resting on corbelled jambs, incorporating an oven.

Manor Farmhouse was originally the home farm of the Nether Hall estate.
