Description
Manor Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse located on the north side of Avebury High Street. It features Flemish brickwork and a tiled roof, which replaced the original thatch after a fire around 1900. The building is two storeys high with attics and consists of four bays. The left three bays are symmetrical, centered around a central stair hall. The entrance has a six-panelled door topped by a simple flat canopy supported by consoles. The windows are twelve-paned sashes with fine gauged brick lintels, and there is a round-headed sash window above the door on the first floor. The front of the right bay has been rebuilt. The farmhouse has moulded brick eaves, a mansard roof, and three flat-roofed dormers with four panes each. There are three brick chimney stacks and a stair window at the rear. The front garden features 19th-century railings and a gate made of cast iron, with javelin-headed rails on a brick wall and acroteria terminals at the ends. The gate includes dog rails.
