Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was formerly a manor house. The front part was added around 1810 to the rear section, which dates back to the early 17th century. The front range is constructed of gault brick, which is now painted, and features a low-pitched slated hipped roof with deep shallow eaves. It has three windows across two storeys, with small-pane sashes set beneath flat arches of gault brick. The ground floor windows are positioned within shallow blind arches, a detail that is repeated on the end elevations. There is a Tuscan portico porch leading to a pair of glazed panelled entrance doors.

The rear range, shaped like a T, is timber-framed and plastered, with plaintiled roofs. A large external chimney made of red brick is located on the north side and was recapped in gault brick around 1810. The rear range features various early 19th-century casements. Inside, the 17th-century close studding with arch stud-bracing is exposed, along with significant oak wainscotting on the first storey and ovolo-moulded members on the first floor.

A print published in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology in 1902, copied by J.S. Corder, shows the east elevation before 19th-century alterations. A brick parapet-gable with crowstepping, depicted in the print, remains but has been truncated and remodelled. It includes a plastered ovolo-moulded window from around 1600, now situated within the roof space. Additionally, a 19th-century granary located 40 meters to the north contains a reused section of a tie-beam, which is enriched and carved with "E 1674 M". In 1674, Edward Mann, the Recorder of Ipswich, resided here; a demolished wing on the north side may have contributed to this and other materials found in the farm buildings.
