Description

Manor Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse that was altered in the early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with freestone dressings and features a double Roman tiled roof with coped raised verges and finials, along with large ashlar stacks that have a cornice. The building has two storeys and attics, with five hipped dormers. On the ground floor, there are four windows, and five on the first floor, all in an early 19th-century Gothic style, featuring 3-light casements with ovolo moulded mullions and arched heads, all under a dripmould; the left window on the first floor is blocked.

The farmhouse has a central gabled, projecting ashlar porch topped with a finial, and a chamfered door surround with a 4-centre head. The east gable includes a late 19th-century bay window with a 1:3:1-light configuration. The rear elevation has four 3-light casement windows with ovolo moulded surrounds and relieving arches, along with a continuous string course. There are three 3-light windows set in three steep coped gables, and a central door in a chamfered and 4-centre headed surround, flanked by buttresses.

To the west of the farmhouse is a single-storey outbuilding, likely a dairy, featuring a pantiled roof that projects over the eaves and rests on posts, creating a covered walkway. This outbuilding has single and 2-light casement windows similar to those on the north elevation of the house. Further beyond are two additional outbuildings: the first, a former bakehouse with a pitched roof and a tall 3-light window, and the larger western building, a former dovecote now used as a garage, which contains sawn ashlar nesting boxes inside.

The garden in front of the farmhouse is enclosed by a low coursed rubble wall with an ashlar coping, featuring low square ashlar gatepiers at the center of the north side and taller piers at the southeast corner.
