Description
Manor Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It is built from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features an old plain-tile roof with brick gable stacks. The building has a double depth plan and is two storeys high, plus attics. The symmetrical front has three windows, with a 2-light casement above a six-panelled door, flanked by 3-light casements. There are also three 2-light gabled roof-dormers, and all windows have leaded lights. Notable architectural details include ashlar quoins, a plinth, a flush storey-band, a stone eaves-cove, and roll-moulds around the sides and heads of the openings. The roof is double-span with 20th-century infilling in the valley, and the entrance is adorned with a tiled, hipped hood. The rear elevation is similar but has simpler details. There are 19th and 20th-century single-storey extensions to the left. Inside, the farmhouse has been altered but still retains an open fireplace and two heavily moulded spine beams. This building is associated with the now-demolished Northend Manor and is incorrectly marked as No.2 on the Ordnance Survey sheet.
