Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the mid-17th century, with an extension from the 18th to early 19th century and some alterations made in the 20th century to the south front. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with dressed quoins, and the 17th-century section of the south front features bands of dressed stone. It has stone slate roofs and chimneys with paired or single square ashlar shafts.
The original 17th-century part is L-shaped, with a gabled stair turret at the rear and consists of two storeys and an attic. It has stone mullion windows that are recessed with hollow-chamfering and Tudor hoodmoulds, with the ground floor primarily featuring four-light windows and the first floor three-light windows. The south front has two bays of windows, including a 20th-century single light in the center of the ground floor and a 20th-century artificial stone mullion window to the left of a boarded door. This door is framed by a 17th-century double ovolo-moulded and stopped surround, with flanking chimneys.
The right gable end features 17th-century two-light stone mullion windows to the left of the chimney and 19th-century French doors with Gothick glazing to the right. The rear wing matches the same style, with the east front having a partly blocked first-floor window and a gabled roof dormer. There are two-light stone mullion windows in the stair turret, and a 19th-century half-glazed door with a flat stone slab hood on scroll brackets at the rear of the front wing, along with a 20th-century artificial stone window above.
The 18th to early 19th-century extension to the west has old three-light casements with flat stone arches on the north front, while the south front has been altered with 20th-century artificial stone windows, a 20th-century lean-to conservatory, and gabled roof dormers. Inside, there is a winder stair, heavy stop-chamfered spine beams, and a fireplace in the rear wing with dressed stone jambs and an altered lintel.
