Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th or 17th century. It is constructed of regularly coursed ironstone rubble with fine joints and features a steeply pitched tile roof. The building has stone and brick stacks on stone bases at each end, with stone copings. It is two storeys tall plus an attic and has an L-shaped plan, with the main range having a wing that projects to the right.
The doorway on the right has a 4-centred arched head, with chamfered soffit and jambs, and a six-panelled door. To the right of the door is a two-light stone mullion window, while to the left there is a four-light stone mullion window. All ground floor openings have a continuous hood mould. On the first floor, there are two three-light stone mullion windows, each with hood moulds and label stops. The gable front dormers feature moulded kneelers and two-light stone mullion windows.
The wing to the right has four-light stone mullion windows on the ground floor, three-light stone mullion windows on the first floor, and a two-light mullion window in the attic. These also have hood moulds and label stops, some of which may have been renewed. All mullions are painted white, and there is a stone plinth.
To the left, there is a single-storey extension that includes a brick and stone axial stack and a three-light stone mullion window, with stone coping. Inside, the farmhouse features a 4-centred stone fireplace, an inglenook fireplace with a bressumer, stop-chamfered beams, chamfered joists, a wooden winder stair, a butt purlin roof, and stone flag floors.
