Manor Farm House

Farmhouse. The core of the building dates back to the 13th century, likely originating as a medieval grange, with a farmhouse range added around 1700. A 19th-century addition and window replacement occurred, followed by restoration work in 1983-4. The original section is constructed of flint, with stone dressings, some brick rebuilding, and an old plain tile roof. The rest of the building has a brick facade with blue headers and a Flemish garden wall bond, also topped with old plain tiles.

The original 13th-century part is two storeys and three bays, and may have been a chapel or bailiff's lodgings attached to a former hall. Only one wall of the hall remains. The 1700 farmhouse range is also two storeys and originally three bays, with two bays added at one end, projecting beyond the original part. The front of the house has an 18th-century, gabled timber porch in the centre, containing a top-lit, wide 18th-century door with six panels. To the left are 19th-century bays containing a planked door on the right-hand side. The other bays feature 19th-century paired four-pane sash windows, with similar windows also on the first floor above the doors. The roof is half-hipped on one side and has a stack at the other end.

At the rear is a 15th-century section with a tall 13th-century lancet window in the centre, and a 20th-century three-light timber cusped window in a 15th-century opening; both have leaded lights. Above this is a twelve-pane sash window. A smaller rectangular lancet with a 20th-century window is on the left, and a tripartite sash window is on the right. These section have been rendered. The right-hand end has been refaced in brick, and includes a pointed doorway in the front wall, with a conservatory built on the site of the former hall. Two 13th-century lancets flank a restored 14th-century square-headed three-light window with trefoils and a transom. Above this is a 20th-century four-light cusped window. A sloping buttress marks the corner.

Inside the 13th-century section, the ground floor rear arches are largely intact. A 13th-century lancet and a pointed doorway (originally leading into the hall) remain against the later range. The 1700 part contains a hall behind the front door with some panelling and a contemporary double dogleg staircase. The staircase features a moulded handrail, turned balusters, a square newel post, and dado panelling. One room from around 1800 retains panelling, a round-headed cupboard, and a carved fireplace. Another room has a large depressed arch brick fireplace.
