3/81 Manor Farmhouse 14.7.55 (Formerly listed as Manor House)

GV II

Farmhouse. C16, extended in early C17 and in C18. 2 storeys and attics: 6 bays. Timber-framed and plastered. Hipped roof, black glazed pantiles, coved plaster cornice. Remains of a cross-wing at the east end, with red brick north gable incorporating a chimney-stack. 3 red brick internal chimney-stacks with corbelled-out heads to rectangular shafts. 4 early C20 3-light mullion-and- transome type windows with hood moulds to ground storey, and one single-storey canted bay with slate roof and similar windows: 6 similar windows to upper storey. One flat-headed dormer window in the east slope of the roof. Off- centre half-glazed door with flat pediment and bolection-moulded architrave. The central 4 bays form the basic C16 building, though the layout is obscured by later alterations. The C17 cross-wing at the east end was cut back in the C18, when the house was refronted, and probably reroofed. Also dating from the C18 are the room at the west end, with a coved ceiling and intersecting plastered beams decorated with bead-and-reel ornament; the stair, with twisted balusters and decorated open strings: and a small room beside the main entry, with an original corner fireplace and plastered cornice with egg-and-dart ornament.
