Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the late 17th century and the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone and features an asbestos slate roof with brick stacks. The building has a T-plan layout and is two storeys high with a three-window east front. The entrance consists of a door with six fielded panels set in a Tudor-arched doorway that has carved spandrels and a flat wooden hood. To the left of the door is a square bay with a three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement, and to the right, there is a three-light leaded casement and a planked door. On the first floor, there are two three-light casements.
Attached to the right of the farmhouse is an early 19th-century barn and stable, which features double doors and top-opening casements, along with a reset late Medieval datestone. The left wing of the farmhouse has two-light and three-light casements, a blocked segmental cellar window, and on the south side, there is a four-panelled door in a cast-iron tent porch. The left front has three-light casements. At the rear, there is a 19th-century canted bay with four-pane sashes and a two-light casement to the right, a blocked Tudor-arched doorway, a three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement, and a 20th-century glazed porch to the left. The first floor features three three-light leaded or wooden casements, as well as a four-light and single-light window.
The left return of the building displays a datestone with deeply carved lettering that reads 1555. Inside, the farmhouse contains mainly 17th-century fittings, including recessed moulded panelling on the stairs, a moulded plank and muntin partition encasing the cellar stairs in the wing, and cupboards with butterfly hinges located below the stairs and beside a partly blocked open fireplace in the south room. The joinery includes doors with either two or six fielded panels. The datestones and other fittings may have been relocated from the Manor House of the Willoughby family, which was previously located in a field to the north of the church and was demolished in 1745.
