Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmbuilding located approximately 50 metres to the northwest, dating from the 17th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a roof made of Stonesfield slate and corrugated asbestos. The building is a single range, two storeys high with an attic. The symmetrical front has three widely spaced three-light stone-mullioned windows on the first floor, while the ground floor has similar windows in the outer bays and a later segmental-arched central entrance with a loft door inserted above. The original wide doorways next to the windows have been built up. The end walls contain two-light mullioned windows on the first floor and single-light openings in the gables. All window openings and mullions have plain chamfers. The roof is slated only on the front side.
Inside, the building features stop-chamfered intersecting beams and a five-bay butt-purlin roof with framed trusses built into the gables. The tall tie beams are morticed for attic joists, with soffit tenons and diminished haunches. The trusses retain framing for attic partitions, and all rafters are tenoned and pegged into the purlins. This building may have served as the stable range for the 16th or 17th-century mansion, part of which is incorporated into Manor Farmhouse.
