Description

Manor Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse, significantly altered and extended in the late 19th century. The original structure is built of uncoursed sarsen rubble with chalk quoins. Only part of the original layout remains. The early 17th-century block is a 1 1/2-storey, one-window range. It has ovolo-moulded and stopped wooden lintels over three- and four-light leaded casement windows. A gabled roof has a lateral stack on the left side. In the late 19th century, the right side of the original block was demolished, and an extension was built. This extension is of coursed chalk rubble with brick dressings and a Welsh slate roof, rising two stories and featuring a three-window arrangement. It has segmental arches with brick dressings to the two-light casement windows and a six-panelled door with overlights to the left. The interior of the extension contains late 19th-century doors and a straight-flight staircase. Only limited original 17th-century features remain, including a collar truss at right angles to the front and adjoining the late 19th-century extension; this truss indicates the original house was formerly extended further to the right. A mid-19th century service wing in Flemish bond brick, with flared headers to the rear left, retains original leaded casements and planked doors.
