Description
Manor Farm House and Manor Cottage are a farmhouse and attached cottage, originally dating from the early 18th century, with a south range added around 1870. The farmhouse, situated at the left end, comprises the 19th-century range and a single ground floor room in the original 18th-century range. One room of the cottage extends over this area, creating a flying freehold. The 19th-century range has rubble stone walls with ashlar dressings, a stone slate roof with ½-hipped and gabled ends, and plastered stacks. It is two storeys high. The south (garden) front features a canted bay window with stone mullions and sashes on the ground floor, and two 2-light mullioned sash windows above, one beneath a hipped gable and the other under a full gable. A large chimney stack is positioned between the upper windows. The front facing the road has a similar window on each floor. A single-storey porch with a battlemented parapet and a ledged door is also present. The central section of the building exhibits rubble stone walls up to the first floor level, with brickwork above. It has a stone slate roof and a brick stack at the right end. It is two storeys high and has two casement windows with glazing bars on the ground floor (Manor Farm House), and two similar windows on the first floor (Manor Farm Cottage). A dormer with matching casements sits in the attic. The right-hand section, also from the 18th century, features rubble stone walls up to the first floor and brickwork above, appearing older than the central section. It has a stone slate roof, is two storeys high and has an attic with two hipped dormers containing casements with horizontal glazing bars. A part-glazed door is protected by a brick relieving arch. The ground floor has two casement windows with diamond pattern lead lights set within the blocked door openings. The first floor has three similar windows. A lean-to addition of rubble stone is situated at the right end. A single-storey rear wing, built of rubble stone and with a stone slate roof, extends from the main structure. Internally, the building retains some exposed chamfered ceiling beams and exposed trusses in the rear wing. The front boundary wall is constructed of stone and has battlements. The property is owned by the National Trust.
