Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse with later alterations and additions. The house is built of rubble and brick, with a double Roman tiled roof over the porch and an asbestos slate roof to the main house. A brick stack is located to the right of centre, where a gable end previously stood. The north end of the house has had its roof structure removed and is now clad in corrugated asbestos. The building follows a through-passage plan. The house is 1½ storeys high with 3 windows on the front, all 20th-century 3-light casements to the ground floor. There is a roof light and a dormer on the right side. A small gable on the left has a 3-light leaded casement in a timber frame. A porch to the left has a pitched roof and a cambered timber lintel over the side opening, with a panelled and glass door. Brick repairs are visible on the north wall, along with three casement windows, two with timber lintels and one with a brick segmental head. Sections of timber wall plate remain. The south side has a 3-light casement at attic level. The rear of the house has three gables, with a single-storey brick wing projecting from between two gables on the left. Each gable has a 3-light casement under a timber lintel, while the ground floor has a 3-light casement and a single-light leaded casement. A rear through-passage door is to the right of a four-panel door with a heavy timber lintel. The north wing has three casements. Inside, there are deep chamfered beams, with moulded stops to the beams in a room to the left of the passage. Other interior features include internal shutters, a chamfered bressumer and jambs to a fireplace, complete with an iron arm for pots. A single-light window is set within a deep splayed reveal at the rear. A change in floor level is present on the first floor, with a cambered collar and a two-plank door with battens, strap hinges, and queen-posts. The farmhouse was marked on a 1659 map of Hill, belonging to Edward Fust, then Lord of The Manor. It was formerly thatched.
