Description
Manor Farmhouse, now a house, dates from the early to mid 18th century and incorporates earlier elements. It is constructed of limestone rubble and coursed squared limestone with ashlar dressings, featuring concrete-pantile and Welsh-slate roofs with stone and brick stacks. The building has a three-unit plan with a rear outshut and stands two storeys plus an attic high.
The front has four windows, with the three bays to the left made of coursed stone. These bays have a symmetrical arrangement of sash windows, with a central doorway located below a blocked window. All openings feature stone flat arches; the entrance has a folding six-panel door with an overlight, and the windows generally have 12-pane sashes, except for the one to the right of the door, which has been widened to accommodate a 16-pane sash. Small cellar windows are located beside the entrance steps. The fourth bay, made of rubble and likely incorporating 17th-century work, has 16-pane 19th-century sash windows at a lower level. The continuous hipped roof has end stacks and an additional stack at the rear, all with stone bases.
At the rear, there is a wide contemporary outshut with altered openings. Attached to the right is a six-bay farm building that breaks forward at an angle and has a corrugated-asbestos roof, half hipped to the left. The front of this building features a loft door, while the rear includes stable doors and windows, along with another loft door leading to a granary.
Inside the farmhouse, there is a large open fireplace and a stop-chamfered beam in the lower bay, along with much mid-18th-century joinery, including two half-panelled rooms and a first-floor room with complete fielded panelling. Both the house and the farm building have butt-purlin roofs.
