Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse with possible medieval origins, significantly remodelled in the 16th or 17th century and again in the 18th century, with 19th and 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of rubblestone with an interlocking tile roof. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic, and consists of a four-bay main range with a wing extending to the rear right. A gabled porch, built in the 19th century using coursed stone with a stone slate roof, is located in the centre of the front of the farmhouse. It features a chamfered Tudor-arched doorway with a double four-panel door; the upper panels are made of coloured glass. Wood lintels cover 20th-century wooden casement windows, which have 3, 2, 3, and 2 lights on each floor. A blocked window is located above the porch, and the window to its right was formerly a doorway. A hipped dormer is situated on the left side. Rebuilt brick stacks are present at the left end and on the ridge between bays 2 and 3. Farm buildings attached to the right are not of particular interest. The rear of the main range features concrete-lintelled windows on each floor on the right side, along with wood-lintelled windows in the centre and on the first floor left. A central, hipped-roofed dormer is also present. A late 19th-century outshut, which is not of special interest, is attached to the wing. The left return shows a plinth and a wood-lintelled attic window. The right return has been rendered and contains mid-20th-century windows, an external brick stack rising from the first floor of the wing gable, and an addition to the end of the wing, which is not of special interest.

Inside, the farmhouse has large-scantling chamfered beams with a variety of stops. A large central fireplace is present, and adjacent to it is an early 17th-century or earlier, pointed-arched doorway with a broad chamfer and pyramidal stops at its base. The attic contains wide floorboards. The main range has an 18th-century roof consisting of five collared principal rafter roof trusses with small apex pieces supporting a diagonally-set square-section ridge-piece, along with two sets of butt purlins. The wing has an 18th-century roof with two principal rafter roof trusses, cambered collars, and large-scantling butt purlins.
