Description
Manor Farm Cottages are two attached cottages dating from the early 19th century. They feature coursed rubble stone walls and a thatch roof that is half-hipped at both ends. A 20th-century stone stack is positioned at the ridge in the center. The cottages are two storeys high and have six windows, which include two- and three-light wooden casements with horizontal glazing bars, while the first-floor windows have metal casements. There are segmental stone arches with voussoirs above the windows. Plank doors are located to the left and right of the center, each with one glass light, dating from the 19th century. Each cottage has an outhouse at the end, which is slightly set back, and both outhouses have recently been built up to two storeys.
