Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed building, originally known as the Old Manor House, dating from the late 15th to early 16th century, with some early 19th-century alterations. The structure is built of chalkstone with a timber-framed upper floor and a brick wing, topped with a tiled roof. It has two storeys and features six bays, including a two-storey jettied wing on the north side and a two-bay service wing on the south. There is a late 18th-century wing at the southwest end.

The farmhouse has a medieval porch leading to a cross passage that is now part of the hall. The east end contains a drawing room, while the west end has a dining room adjoining the service wing. Notable features include a limestone moulded door to the passage, a bracket-moulded door to the south porch, and an original two-light hollow moulded window, with other windows being 20th-century oak replacements from a restoration by H. Breakspear around 1960. The upper floor framing consists of two panels high with heavy tension braces, restored with herringbone brick noggings.

The east end has a stack, and there is an external stack serving the dining room. The south wing features a brick plat band, a six-panelled door, and a canted 19th-century bay window. Inside, the hall boasts a fine timber panelled screen leading to the dining room, which has a large moulded stone fireplace and moulded ceiling beams. A similar fireplace is found in an upper bedroom, though with different mouldings. The internal timbering includes jowled posts and angle braces. An oak stair with winding treads is enclosed on the east side of the south porch, which was partially rebuilt in the late 18th century. The roof is constructed with alternating arched brace and tie beam trusses, supporting two purlins and windbraces, with the eastern trusses showing signs of being smoke blackened.
