Description

The Grange, now divided into three cottages at Manor Farm, dates from the 17th century and was remodelled around the early 19th century and late 19th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with stone dressings, featuring a steeply pitched pantile roof with stone gable coping and ashlar axial and gable-end stacks. The building is L-shaped. The main west-facing range appears to have been constructed in two phases; the northern portion (No. 2) contains a large, blocked gable-end fireplace and a three-bay roof. The southern portion (No. 3) originally had an open roof or a loft. Around the early 19th century, the entire range was converted into a dwelling, and a wing (No. 1) was added to the rear (northeast). Later in the 19th century, it was divided into separate cottages, with a further outbuilding extending the rear wing to the east.

The west front is asymmetrical, with late 19th-century chamfered stone Tudor-arched doorways on the left and right. A 12-pane sash window is located in the blocked central doorway, and two small gables centre left contain 2-light casement windows. The south gable end has stone mullion windows and an oval ventilator or owl-hole in the gable. The rear (east) of the original 17th-century range has a 3-light stone mullion window with a hoodmould on the ground floor. The first floor on the left has a 16-pane sash window, and a blocked doorway is visible on the left. The rear wing has various 20th-century windows and a small 2-light stone mullion window on the north side.

Internally, the south end of the west range (No. 3) has a 2-bay roof with a cambered collar truss and two tiers of threaded purlins, containing a reused ceiling beam. The north end of the west range (No. 2) has three chamfered cross-beams with hollow-step stops, a large blocked fireplace with a newel staircase to one side, circa early 19th-century panelled doors on the first floor, and a three-bay threaded purlin roof with replaced collars. The rear wing has a tenoned staggered purlin roof with nailed collars.
