Description

Manor Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse that underwent heightening at the north end, with additional alterations to the windows in the 18th and 20th centuries. The building features dressed stone and knapped flint walls that are banded, topped with clay-tile roofs and concrete gable copings. There are four 20th-century brick stacks, positioned diagonally on square bases at the gable ends, one on a 20th-century gable facing the road at the south end, and another on the ridge towards the north end.

The farmhouse has a four-unit layout with a tower porch at the center. The front elevation, which faces away from the road, is two storeys high with attics and is five windows wide, including the porch. The ground floor has a six-light window, a three-light window in the porch, a four-light window, and a 20th-century door. The first floor features four-light windows, a three-light window in the porch, and two four-light windows, all with ovolo-moulded stone mullions and moulded stone jambs. There are separate labels above the ground floor windows, and the 19th-century iron casements have lead lights.

The central tower porch is made of stone, gabled, and lower than the main ridge, with stone coping. The entrance has straight-chamfered jambs and a segmental head with a 20th-century plank-and-muntin door. The roof includes three inserted 20th-century dormers with three- and two-light casements. The elevation facing the road has irregular two- and three-light windows with ovolo-moulded mullions, featuring 19th-century casements and leaded lights. A long string course, now fossilized, runs at half-storey level. There is a three-light mullion window with a flat architrave and mullions, topped with an ashlar round arch featuring a Ham stone key, which lights the staircase and was inserted in the 18th century.

The interior is noted to be of interest, but access was not obtained for inspection.
