Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th or 18th century, with later modifications. It is constructed from regularly coursed ironstone rubble and has a 20th-century tile roof. The building features three brick stacks, with the one on the right end having a stone base. The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan layout.
On the garden front, the right part consists of a two-unit section that is single storey plus attic, with a three-window range. The off-centre entrance to the left has a wide panelled door with a glazed panel, surrounded by plain wood and topped with a wooden lintel. To the right, there is a four-light metal casement window, while to the left, a three-light metal casement window is set beneath a keystoned flat arch. The attic has three two-light casements.
The left wing features a bay window with a hipped Welsh slate roof and three-light metal casements on the first floor, which are set beneath a stop-chamfered lintel. The wing has a steeply pitched gabled roof with stone copings.
Historically, John Blount was assessed for five hearths at Manor Farm in 1665. When George Blount died in 1700, his house was described as having a hall, parlour, kitchen, out-kitchen, and buttery, along with chambers over the hall and parlour, a 'best' and 'middle' chamber, a closet, and a 'garret'. The interior was not inspected.
