Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. The rear wing likely dates from the 16th century, while the front wing was added in the 17th century, creating a T-plan layout. There is a stair turret from the 18th century at the rear angle, and another wing to the right, which is dated 1829 on its gable end but may have earlier origins. The property also features an early 19th-century bakehouse wing and several small extensions from the 19th and 20th centuries at the rear, with a refurbishment that took place in the early 20th century.
The building is constructed from coursed rubble limestone, with the right wing having slobbered pointing. It has stone slate roofs with coped gables at both ends. The chimneys are made of ashlar with moulded cornices. The 17th-century wing is two storeys tall with an attic and consists of three bays. It features a large gabled full dormer in the centre bay, hollow-chamfered stone mullion windows with Tudor hoodmoulds, and old metal casements, with four lights on the ground floor and three lights on the first floor and attic dormer. The right bay has a 19th-century six-panelled top-lit door set within an early 19th-century ashlar porch that has an open pediment supported by Doric columns. Between the left bays is a large stack with a row of four square shafts.
The right wing is also two storeys tall with two bays and has matching windows, although only the top left window is old and may be reused; the others are early 20th-century. The chimneys were altered in the early 20th century, with a single shaft moved from the centre to the end and two diagonal shafts added to the rear lateral stack. The smaller rear wing has gables facing west and south, a chimney with two diagonal shafts, and one old stone mullion window.
Inside, the 17th-century wing features stone fireplaces with four-centred arches, although those on the ground floor were refurbished in the early 20th century. There is also an early to mid-18th-century plaster cornice with egg and dart ornament in the left bay of the same wing. The rear wing contains winder stairs aligned with the stack and remnants of a truss that may have once been arch-braced. The front wings were reroofed in 1902.
