Description
Walker Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that underwent remodelling and extension around 1790, originally built as a two-storey house in the early 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with brick quoins and dressings, topped with a hipped roof covered in 20th-century tiles. It features brick stacks, including a left lateral stack finished in stone and brick. The farmhouse has a single-extended to double-depth plan and rises to three storeys with a four-window range.
The central doorway, dating from around 1790, includes carved brackets that support a flat hood, with plain pilasters framing a six-panelled door. The windows have cambered gauged brick arches above eight-pane sashes, with shorter sashes on the second floor. There is a sash in a partially blocked opening above another blocked opening, with a 20th-century window to the right of the door. At the rear, there is a late 18th-century two-storey extension made of similar materials, featuring sashes and brackets supporting a flat hood over the door.
Inside, the farmhouse has six-panelled doors set in moulded architraves with panelled reveals. The open-well staircase boasts moulded newels with stick balusters and a fine ramped handrail. Attached to the left is a one-storey brewhouse made of similar materials, which connects to a Flemish bond brick wall that meets a limestone wall along the road. Plain brick piers with a plain stone storey band and cornice flank double gates near the front.
