Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that possibly dates back to the 14th century, with early 17th-century features. It is constructed of limestone rubble and has an old plain-tile roof with stone and brick stacks. The building consists of a two-unit range and an L-plan addition, standing two storeys plus an attic. The early range features a central door with traces of a relieving arch, flanked by large 18th-century casement windows on both the ground and first floors, and includes a blocked single-light window with a dressed stone surround.

The middle range, which projects to the left, has a similar blocked light and remnants of stone-mullioned windows on the right-facing wall. Its end wall features a half-hipped gable with a chamfered plinth that steps up and continues along the front of the parallel range, which contains a 3-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned stair window. The left-facing gable end also has a similar window. The left end of the early range includes a first-floor window with a pointed arch and hood mould.

At the rear of the early range, there are two large projecting stone chimneys with numerous weathered offsets, one featuring two diagonal brick shafts, along with a similar stack on the rear gable wall of the middle range. The building has various rear and gable outshuts.

Inside, the early range has a chamfered pointed-segmental rear arch leading to the doorway. The middle range includes a 17th-century oak-panelled room with a fine overmantel featuring arched panels beneath a carved frieze of intersecting lunettes, supported by shallow consoles that hold a dentil cornice. The fireplace retains remains of an earlier, wider fireplace with a moulded stone surround and a wave-moulded cross beam. The roof of the middle range has a central truss with arched braces to the collar, while the roof of the early range is from the 18th or 19th century. The house is noted to have undergone extensive repairs in 1660 and may have served as the manor house.
