Description
Manor Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, with later alterations. The walls are roughcast, likely over brick, and have an old plain-tile half-hipped roof. Brick ridge stacks are situated to the left and right of the centre of the building. It is arranged as a two-storey, four-window range. A 20th-century sash door is set within a 20th-century porch with a half-hipped roof to the left of the centre. The windows are tripartite sashes, except for a 20th-century two-light metal casement on the first floor to the right, and a four-pane window on the first floor to the left. The interior was noted to have open fireplaces on the ground floor, though it has not been inspected. To the left of the farmhouse is a 19th-century cross-wing of painted brick with an old plain-tile roof and a brick end stack. This cross-wing features a single-window addition of single storey and attic.
