Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that originated in the 15th century and was altered in the 17th century, with a large extension added around 1860 to the south. The older part of the building is constructed from coursed rubble limestone and features a stone slate roof. It has a cruciform rubble stone chimney at the original left gable end and a smaller rubble chimney shaft at the center. The structure is two storeys tall and consists of two bays.

The left bay contains three-light windows with chamfered stone mullions, which are possibly from the 17th century but have been restored later. The right bay features earlier 16th or 17th century stone mullion windows with hollow chamfering and hoodmoulds. The ground floor has a tall cross window, while the upper floor includes a three-light window in gabled semi-dormers. All windows have old leaded glazing, and the lower windows are topped with segmental rubble relieving arches.

Slightly off-centre, there is a 19th or 20th century gabled stone porch that incorporates an old board door with strap hinges, set in a moulded wooden doorframe with scroll stops. The porch also features a weatherboarded gable and a window on the right side with heavy turned wooden balusters. Attached to the left end of the old wing is a lower two-bay range with a catslide projection at the front of the right bay.

To the right is a large wing from around 1860, made of squared and coursed rubble with dressed quoins, a plain tile roof, and coped gables. This wing is two storeys high with an attic. The main south front of this wing has a wide gabled bay on the left and two to three narrow bays on the right, all designed in the Gothick style with sets of arched sashes. The lower windows feature carved foliage capitals on central colonettes, and there is an arched door in the left narrow bay. The interior was not inspected during the 1986 resurvey, but a photograph from 1939 in the National Monument Records shows a fine 15th century arch-braced collar truss with hollow chamfering and two tiers of arched wind-braces.
