Description

Manor Farmhouse with an attached barn at the rear is a farmhouse dated to 1634, attributed to Thomas Warren, but it has a core that dates back to the 16th century. The building features dressed stone walls and two sleeper buttresses. It has a plain tile roof with stone gable-copings and tile cresting, along with three stone stacks—one on the left gable, another at the right gable from the 17th century.

The main range is from the 16th century and was remodeled in the 17th century, with extensions at the rear for additional rooms and a stairwell, as well as a service range that extends back to connect with a later barn. The farmhouse is two storeys high with three to four windows, featuring three-, four-, and five-light stone mullions with separate labels on the ground floor, but no labels above. The windows have iron casements with leaded lights. The front door, located left of centre, leads into a cross-passage and has a Tudor-arch entrance with moulded jambs. There is a stone porch with a pitched stone slate roof, stone gable-coping, and a ball-finial, along with ogee kneelers. The porch entrance features a Tudor arch with a label above that has square stops. A recessed stone tablet with an egg-and-dart surround displays the inscription. The front door is wood and panelled, dating to the 19th century. The south wall of the porch has a doorway with a depressed-arch head.

Inside, there are moulded ceiling-beams from the 16th century in the right-hand end, and remnants of a 16th-century plank-and-muntin screen with straight chamfers and tongued stops. There are two open fireplaces, one located against the cross-passage and another in the right-hand room. The original kitchen, found at the left-hand end, features straight-chamfered ceiling-beams arranged in six compartments. The attached barn at the rear dates to the 18th century, constructed with rubble walls and a slate roof with stone gable-copings. The barn door has stone jambs and segmental brick heads.
