Description
Manor Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, with an extension added in the mid-19th century. It is built of Flemish bond red brick, featuring burnt headers and some tile-hung timber-framing at the first floor level, with brick stacks and chimney shafts, and a peg-tile roof.
The house has a T-plan layout facing north. The main front block consists of a two-room plan, with one room on each side of a central entrance hall and main stair. Both rooms have projecting gable-end stacks. The kitchen is located in a parallel block at the rear of the right room, with a stack backing onto a rear block that is set slightly to the left of center.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, with lean-to outshots at the rear of the kitchen and in the angle of the two wings at the back of the left end, creating a square ground plan. The rear wings are 19th-century extensions or rebuilds behind the original 18th-century front block.
The exterior features a symmetrical three-window front with 16-pane sash windows under flat brick arches, with the central first-floor window being smaller than the others. The central front doorway has a part-glazed six-panel door beneath a soffit-panelled flat hood with moulded edges, supported by shaped timber brackets. The eaves have a brick dentil cornice, and the roof is gable-ended. The rear of the house has 20th-century casements without glazing bars. There is a doorway at the back end of the rear block with a segmental arch above, containing a part-glazed six-panel door under a curving hood on consoles.
Inside, the farmhouse features plain 18th and 19th-century carpentry and joinery.
