Description

Old Manor Farm Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600 and the mid-17th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and painted roughcast, featuring stone gable walls and a thatched roof. The building is two storeys tall and has a T-plan layout. This includes an earlier block that consists of a living room, cross passage, and kitchen, along with an east wing that contains an entrance lobby, stair, and parlour. The framing of the earlier block has three panels high with a heavy bressumer and straight corner braces, while the wing has four panels high without corner braces, and includes brick noggings. The entrance is located in a porch that overlooks the farmyard and features a partly glazed door and paned timber windows. Inside, there are two parallel longitudinal beams with scoop and check stops, along with chamfered joists. The living room has a gable stack with a timber lintel, which has been partly rebuilt. The kitchen at the west end has an added external stack. The forward wing also has two parallel chamfered beams with run-out chamfer stops and a blocked stack in the stone gable.
