Description
Manor Farmhouse, originally three attached cottages and now unified, was built in the late 17th century. The structure is characterised by flint and stone walls with banding, topped with a thatched roof featuring gable ends. Brick stacks are positioned at the centre of the ridge and at the right-hand gable. The farmhouse has two storeys and five windows; most are two-light iron casements with lead lights, although one window on the ground floor to the right is a 1920s three-light design. A wooden plank door is centrally located, also dating to the 20th century.
