Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, possibly with an earlier core, and features a 19th-century facade. It is timber framed, with the ground floor constructed of chequered red and grey brick and the first floor tile-hung. The left side of the first floor is weatherboarded towards the rear. The roof is plain tiled. The building has a short central section with cross-wings on both the right and left, which are flush with the front of the central section but project to the rear. It is two storeys high, with gabled wings at both the front and rear. A central stack made of red and grey brick is present, along with a projecting rear gable end stack on the left wing and another projecting brick stack towards the rear of the right wing. The windows are arranged irregularly, with two four-light casements, one in each wing. The central entrance features a panelled door with a rectangular top light, set beneath a flat hood with a pendant undercut cornice. There is also a two-storey gabled central rear wing that fills the gap between the outer wings. The interior has not been inspected.
