Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse, now a house, dates to 1801, although it incorporates parts of an earlier building. It is constructed of regularly coursed and dressed limestone rubble with an ashlar front, and has a double-span slate roof with coped verges, a parapet, and an eaves cornice. The house follows a double-depth plan. The front elevation has a plinth, and is arranged with two storeys and three window bays, featuring 16-paned horned glazing bar sashes. The centre window on the first floor is a 9-paned sash within a projecting surround. A central entrance has a 20th-century half-glazed door in a plain surround, topped with a bracketed segmental stone hood. Integral end stacks have moulded dripstones and capping. A cellar to the left gable end is accessed by straight steps and has a boarded door with a cambered head. A chamfered 4-light mullion window on the first floor to the rear gable end, and a chamfered 2-light mullion window to the attic are also present on the rear range. A datestone reading "1801" is located above a rainwater head at the junction with the front range. A low, two-storey gabled range projects at right angles to the rear on the right, with coped verges and an integral end stack.

The interior features a dog-leg staircase in a central entrance hall with stone flags. The staircase has stick balusters to an open string and a ramped handrail. The front range retains panelled window shutters, doors, plaster cornices, and elm floor boards. A room in the rear range has an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel and an oak winder staircase, which continues to the attic, located within a cupboard-like projection to the left of the room. A projecting rear range contains a chamfered cross beam with stepped ogee stops, and a triple segmental-arched fireplace to the end wall. The first-floor roof is of collar truss construction in two bays, with an infilled doorway which formerly connected to the rear range. Both ranges have collar trusses with double butt-purlins. Initials and the date "SB 1801" are carved on one of the tie beams to the front range. The dividing wall between the ranges appears to have originally been external, suggesting that the rear range is earlier, and that the front range was added when the original part was encased in new stonework and reroofed in 1801. A 20th-century lean-to in the angle between the rear range and the projecting range to the rear is not of special architectural interest. Evidence suggests the central fireplace, accessible through a cut arch, was likely used for tallow making; this area now contains a 20th-century toilet, but smaller brick arches survive on either side, the left containing a semi-circular cast-iron cauldron and associated flues and pipes.
