Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that includes a former Court Room, dating from the early 17th century, and likely incorporating earlier elements. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with wooden lintels and features an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks. It has a four-unit plan with a cross wing and stands two storeys tall, plus attics.

The front of the lower main range has four windows and a central doorway situated between large 20th-century casements. To the extreme right, there are two smaller windows, and to the extreme left, there is an altered doorway beneath a 16th or 17th-century label mould with lozenge-shaped stops. The first floor features two old three-light casements, a 19th-century half dormer, and a gabled full dormer. The roof is half-hipped to the right and has two ridge stacks.

The tall cross wing to the left, which was the former Court Room, has 19th-century windows, gabled stacks, and a roof dormer. Attached to its right front corner is a two-storey pyramid-roofed stair tower with small windows on each floor. The rear of the main range has a massive stone chimney projection that tapers to a tall brick stack, along with some old casements. A stone outshut extends more than half the length of the range.

Inside, there are some heavy beams, one of which is crudely moulded and may be medieval, a large open fireplace, and a winder stair. The site is noted as the location of the Manor House.
