Description
Manor Farmhouse, originally a farmhouse and now a country house, has a 17th-century core with substantial additions from 1831, 1929, and the 1960s. The original 17th-century section is built of coursed rubble, while the 1929 wing is of squared and coursed rubble, the 1831 block is rendered, and the south front of the 1929 wing and the 1960s section are stone. The roofs are stone slate with stone stacks. The house has a T-shaped layout, with the earliest section at the rear, an 1831 addition to the south, and 20th-century pavilion-like wings on the east and west sides.
The south front features a central two-story block with an attic, featuring three windows, flanked by single-story, two-window pavilions with hipped roofs. The central block includes 12-pane sash windows in pairs within blocked surrounds on the lower floor, and single 12-pane sashes above. Similar paired sashes are found in the wings. A former doorway on the ground floor of the central block is now a 16-pane sash window. A plat band runs below a plain parapet, and there are two hipped dormers with 2 and 3-light casements.
Inside the original core range is a 17th-century circular newel staircase.
