Description

Tubney Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with later extensions from the late 17th to early 18th century. It is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble and features a gabled stone slate roof. There is a stone external end stack on the right and a 20th-century brick lateral stack at the front. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high, with a two-window range in the right half of the front. The front includes a half-glazed door from the early 20th century and three-light casement windows, with a segmental brick arch over a similar window to the right of the door.

At the rear, service wings made of similar materials flank a central mid-18th century brewhouse, which is built of limestone rubble with brick dressings and has a hipped old tile roof. Inside, the three-unit front range features chamfered and stepped ogee-stopped beams throughout, with transverse partitions that have chamfered and stopped doorframes. The roof has collar trusses with clasped purlins and windbraces. The rear range includes stop-chamfered beams, an early 18th-century fielded four-panelled door, and an open fireplace in the brewhouse. This farmhouse is a valuable example of a three-unit plan with original partitions and doorways. It is situated within a moat on two sides and had a drawbridge until 1841; the manor house that once stood on the site fell into decay in the 16th century.
