Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the 18th century, with an additional bay added in the late 18th century. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble featuring limestone ashlar quoins and a plinth, along with brick window dressings. The right bay is constructed in Flemish bond brick, while the left side wall is roughcast and the right side is in chalk rubble on a brick base. The rear wall is in Flemish bond brick, with a late 19th-century brick wall added for a first-floor extension. The roof is primarily covered with stone slates, except for late 19th-century tiles on the rear right cross-gabled extension, and there are brick stacks.
The farmhouse has a two-unit central staircase plan, with the original rear outshut receiving an extra storey in the late 19th century. It stands two storeys high and features a four-window range. There are carved brackets supporting a flat hood over a four-panelled door with an overlight. Flat brick arches are present over early 19th-century sash windows, with a blocked window on the ground floor to the right and early 19th-century bays with sashes flanking the door. Many windows have been cut through the jambs of earlier windows. The gabled roof has three internal stacks at the junction of the main block with the rear wings. The rear right cross-gabled wall was built up in the late 19th century from the original outshut, and the rear wall features segmental brick arches over one mid to late 19th-century three-light and one late 19th-century two-light casement.
Inside, there is a stone flag floor and late 19th-century tiles in the hall. The interior includes 18th-century plank doors and mid-19th-century two- and four-panelled doors. Late 19th-century fireplaces are found throughout, except in the rear right kitchen, which retains its original swinging pot-bar. The farmhouse was reroofed around 1911.
Additionally, there is a two-storey cheese room over the dairy to the rear left, built of random bond brick with a stone slate roof. This structure features a three-window range with segmental arches over 20th-century casements, except for 18th-century two-light casements to the right of the plank door. It has a gabled roof and an axial brick stack. The interior includes chamfered beams and a three-bay collar truss roof with butt purlins. There is also a late 19th-century open-sided brewhouse to the rear right.
