Description
Mantels Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century or earlier. The ground floor is made of painted brick, while the first floor is tile hung. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high, with a former cellar to the left. There is a stone plinth at the left end, and the roof is hipped to the left with a gablet. A brick stack is located at the right gable end. The windows have irregular placement, featuring one 2-light casement near the stack and two casements on the ground floor. There is a boarded door in a 20th-century timber-framed porch beneath the stack, and a 20th-century lean-to is present on the right side. The rear has a painted brick lean-to. The interior has not been inspected.
