Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a brick farmhouse dating to the later 18th century, likely with an earlier core. It has a red clay tile roof and some light timber framing to the rear. The building stands in an irregular L-plan with one-and-a-half storeys.

The main range runs roughly north-south and features four shallow pilaster-like brick strips on the east front, dividing it into three bays, each with its own chimney stack, indicating a possible older structure beneath. The north bay has a doorway and single ground and first-floor windows. The centre bay mirrors this arrangement, although the doorway has been bricked up, possibly in the 19th century. The southernmost bay originally had a door and windows in the gable wall, but these have been altered; two ground-floor openings (one a partially blocked door) and one first-floor window remain. Decorative brickwork is a key feature, with horizontal and vertical bands of red brick framing panels of purpley-black vitrified bricks in the south gable, and alternating vitrified brick headers with red stretchers in a chequerbond pattern on the east front. The west side of the range has visible light timber framing in the upper part of the north end, above a single-storey outshut with a tiled catslide roof. A short two-storey brick range is attached to the west side of the south end of the main range, featuring two ground and two first-floor windows in its west gable, plus a small window lighting the attic.

The interior was not inspected.

The farmhouse's visible structure and brickwork suggest an 18th-century construction, although the timber framing at the rear and irregular plan imply that an earlier building may have been clad and transformed. With nearby timber-framed barns, it forms the Manor farm complex, likely of medieval origin.

Manor Farmhouse is a substantially intact, externally 18th-century farmhouse, with a possible earlier core evidenced by the timber framing at the rear, and attractive decorative brickwork including banding, pilasters, and a chequerbond pattern on the facades and gable elevations. While the interior was not inspected, it may retain original fabric. Farmhouses of this early date and with this level of architectural detail merit listing, and this one retains its original farm setting, although the barns are not included in the listing.
