Manor Farmhouse

SEMINGTON CHURCH STREET ST 96 SW (south side) 5/177 Manor Farmhouse GV II

Farmhouse. Probably late Medieval, altered C17 and C19. Random rubble stone, hipped tiled roof with hip to left, axial brick stack. Through passage to rear of stack. Two-storey, 2-window west front. Six-panelled door in gabled stone porch lean-to extension and two 9-pane bottom-hinged windows to left, C20 tripartite window to right. First floor has 2-light casement to left, 3-light ovolo-mullioned casement to right. Wing to right has large stone stack with offsets, C20 casements, coped verge. Right return has C20 replacement casements, one 2-light C16 window with Tudor-arched chamfered lights, first floor with C20 casements, is English bond brick. Rear has C20 casements. Interior: through passage with badly worn moulded stone pointed doorway to left, leading to room used for storage, probably former services. Former 'hall' and parlour fireplaces blocked, very deep chamfered beams retained, some boxed-in. Some good joinery including doors with 2 fielded panels. First floor not accessible at time of survey (January 1987), but a good roof is likely in this house. Plan and survival of pointed door to services suggests a Medieval house, but no further evidence available.
