Description
Manor Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a house and shop. It dates from the early 17th century and the mid 19th century, featuring a T-shaped layout with two storeys. The main range is timber-framed and rendered, oriented east-west, and includes an internal chimney stack with four attached hexagonal shafts on a rectangular base. The roof has pantiles to the west of the stack and double Roman tiles on the east side.
The west gable has an overhanging tie-beam. The house has various small-paned sash windows, along with some 20th-century casements. The western half of the east-west range is the oldest section, with a two-bay ground storey room that showcases exposed studding and ceiling joists, as well as a main beam featuring ovolo-moulding. There are two blocked original two-light windows on the south wall and one four-light window on the north, all with ovolo-moulded mullions still in place. The room has an open fireplace with a timber lintel, and there is a corresponding fireplace to the east. However, the eastern half of the range has been replaced in the 19th century and was reduced in length around 1970.
On the south side, there is a small mid-19th century red brick cross-wing with an end chimney stack. This section features a small-paned sash window and a half-glazed door beneath an open gabled porch on the west side, and it now contains a shop.
