Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the early 17th century, with some additions from the 18th century. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble, with limestone and sandstone dressings. It features pantiled roofs with three rows of stone slates at the eaves, limestone coped verges with finials, a brick stack on the west gable, and a double Roman tiled rear wing. The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan layout, with a through passage and a symmetrical south front.

The structure has three storeys and three windows. The ground and first floors have four-light casements, while the second floor features three-light casements. All windows have ovolo mullions, sandstone relieving arches, and timber lintels, decreasing in size with each storey. The central two-storey porch includes a three-light casement on the first floor front and two-light casements on the sides, with a door set in a chamfered frame and an ovolo-moulded over-lintel.

On the east side, there is a cellar door with strap hinges and a timber lintel, along with blocked windows on the ground and first floors. The second floor has a three-light ovolo-mullioned window under a timber lintel. An 18th-century single-storey dairy and wash-house wing is attached, featuring three-light windows on the east and west sides, a door in a wooden frame to the west, and a buttress at the gable end.

The rear of the farmhouse has a large external stack on the main block, while the rear block has a separate pitched roof with parapets at each end. The windows here are irregularly arranged, with two and three-light casements, all having ovolo mullions. There is also a panelled and studded door to the left in a moulded wooden frame.

Inside, the farmhouse features moulded and stopped beams, ovolo moulded door frames, a wide dog-leg stair, and studded doors. The west room on the second floor has remnants of a plaster over-mantel with a fleur-de-lys design. It is noted that the passage panelling was sold to pay family debts and was lost in the sinking of the S.S. Titanic.
