Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century, with a later 17th-century wing. It features ashlar stone walls and a slate roof with a tile ridge and stone gable copings. There is one brick stack at the left gable and two brick stacks near the right junction.

On the south elevation, the building has two storeys with four windows that include two, three, and four-light mullions with ovolos. A continuous string course runs above the ground floor windows, and there are separate labels over the first-floor windows. The windows are 19th-century iron casements. The front door is centrally located and has stone moulded jambs with an ovolo profile and a Tudor-arch head, along with a raised label.

The south wing is two storeys and has two bays, constructed from rubble stone with a slate roof. Its windows have stone mullions with four-centred heads but no labels. The east elevation features window openings from the 19th century and a stone porch supported by quasi-Doric stone columns.
