Description
Manor Farmhouse, located approximately 70 meters south of Harcourt House, is a service range that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the 15th century and features later alterations made for the Harcourt family. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and has a gabled stone slate roof. There is a 20th-century brick stack on the left end and two adjoining lateral stone stacks at the front, which are finished in 20th-century brick.
The farmhouse has a three-unit plan with a cross passage, two storeys, and an attic, presenting a five-window range. To the left of the stack, there is a two-window range that includes hood moulds over 15th-century trefoil- and cinquefoil-headed lights, a timber lintel over a 20th-century two-light casement to the right, and a 20th-century gabled roof dormer with a three-light casement. The three-window range to the right of the stacks features a late 19th-century bracketed flat hood over a half-glazed door, timber lintels over late 19th-century and 20th-century casements, a hood mould over a 15th-century hollow-chamfered architrave to the window left of the door, and a late 19th-century roof dormer.
At the rear, there is a three-window range to the left with stone and wood one- and two-light cinquefoil-headed windows. The right wing at the rear is made of limestone rubble, with a rendered first floor and early 19th-century chequer brick to the left. It has a hipped stone slate roof with a brick rear end stack and a large 15th-century offset stone lateral stack for the dairy outshut on the right. There is also an early 19th-century two-storey extension, possibly a former granary, to the right of the front, constructed of light timber framing with brick infill set on a tall limestone rubble plinth, featuring a brick end stack.
The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest, as it is noted to have an arch-braced roof with butt purlins supported on head corbels. The farmhouse is attached to the Great Kitchen.
