Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was originally two cottages, dating from the 17th century with extensive alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed from banded brick and flint, topped with tiled and thatched roofs, and features a brick stack at the right end. It has two storeys and a six-window range, with various sashes and casements that include glazing bars. A gabled porch with a glazed door adds to its character. Inside, there are chamfered beams with shaped stops.
