Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house built around 1720 for Thomas Godfrey, with alterations made in the late 18th century. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble, featuring a front of squared and coursed stone, and has a gabled stone slate roof, with concrete tiles on the rear. The building is designed in a U-shape with rear wings and has two storeys plus an attic, presenting a symmetrical five-window facade.
The entrance features a flat stone arch above an 18th-century six-panelled door with an overlight, set within a beaded architrave, and there are 20th-century windows. The house includes two mid to late 19th-century gabled roof dormers. The two-storey rear left wing has a later 18th-century extension with a concrete tile roof, while the mid-18th-century two-storey rear right wing has both stone slate and concrete tile roofing.
Inside, there is a panelled room dating to around 1730 on the left side. The central staircase is a dog-leg with winder steps, and there is a segmental stone arch over a fireplace to the right. A 17th-century stop-chamfered beam is located in the rear right area. The roofs feature collar-trusses with butt purlins. The left side wall and roof of the front range were rebuilt in the 1770s.
