Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century and early 18th century. It is built of rubble stone with a stone tiled roof that is hipped at the northwest wing. The south gable features a coped design with an ashlar end wall stack, and there are ashlar ridge stacks on both the main range and the wing. The building is two storeys and has an attic, designed in an 'L' shape.
The exterior includes chamfer-moulded mullion windows with hoodmoulds and leaded lights. On the west front, the main range has a ridge stack and three hipped dormers. The south end of the first floor has flush quoins, while the north end has a straight joint. There are two first floor three-light windows positioned to the right, and on the ground floor, there are a four-light window and a three-light window symmetrically placed on either side of a later 17th century Tudor arched doorway with carved imposts. To the left of the straight joint, there are two-light windows on both floors, with the upper window lacking a hoodmould.
The wing projects outwards and features a small two-light window on the ground floor and a single light upper window in the return wall, along with three-light windows on each floor of the west end wall. The rear of the main range shows evidence of several building phases, with a door similar to the front door aligned centrally but with a straight joint to the right. The right side ground floor window has four lights and a relieving arch above it, while the left side has a four-light window. The first floor has a three-light window to the right with a hoodmould, a three-light window in the centre, and a two-light window to the left. There is no straight joint corresponding with the ridge stack, but the walling is continuous with blocked two-light and one 20th century window on the first floor at the right end. The ground floor is obscured by a lean-to that is scheduled for removal in 1984.
The south end has additional lower ranges, including one two-storey range with a window and a south end stack. The walling is partly continuous with the main range but has been significantly altered around 1923 and 1983. A further range with an outside stair at the south end was added in 1983. Inside, the main house features fine Tudor arched stone fireplaces at each end.
