Description

Manor Farmhouse, likely a former manor house, dates from 1633 (or possibly 1655) as indicated by a datestone and has been extended in the 18th and mid-19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, featuring some ashlar dressings and wooden lintels, with roofs made of Stonesfield slate and concrete plain tiles, topped with ashlar stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two storeys plus an attic.

The front, which has three windows, is primarily from the 17th century but includes large three-light 19th-century casements in the outer bays, except for a canted bay window to the right of the central doorway. Above the door is an early 19th-century round-headed window with margin lights. There are two ridge stacks with plinths and moulded caps situated on either side of the entrance.

On the left gable wall, there are two three-light leaded casements positioned below the labels of their stone-mullioned predecessors, and in the gable, there is a two-light casement beneath the datestone. A contemporary rear wing extends from the main building and features additional leaded casements, possibly extended in the 18th century, along with a further ridge stack and a bellcote.

A 19th-century infill range has sash windows, which are taller on the ground floor, and in the gable wall, there is a tripartite sash above a large canted bay window with a stone cornice. To the left of the earlier wing, there is a short single-storey range that connects to a stable and coach-house range. This range includes a leaded three-light ovolo-moulded wood-mullion window in the gable wall and incorporates a small blocked two-light 13th-century window. The coach house door features a brick depressed arch, and the rear wall has a single-row dovecote below the eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
