Description
Manor Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse built in the mid-19th century. It features walls made of flint and dressed stone, with a banded appearance. The building has a chamfered stone plinth and dressed stone quoins, along with a stone string course above the ground floor windows. The roof is covered with clay tiles and has gable ends and parallel ridges, with two rendered stacks that have dogtooth cornices situated in the valley.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three windows. The windows are made of stone mullions, which are hollow-chamfered and have stops at the top and bottom. The ground floor has three-light windows, while the first floor has two-light windows. At the centre of the house, there is a porch with a hipped tile roof and a string course separating the two storeys. The doorway features moulded jambs and a depressed-arch head, with a plank door that has strap hinges.
At the rear, there is a range with two-light cast-iron casements that have a lozenge pattern of glazing bars. Additionally, there is a service range with a stack on the rear gable at the north-east corner.
