Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, featuring a timber-frame and painted brick north wing, with a large east wing added around 1860 for the Poynder estate. The building is topped with plain tiles and consists of two storeys and an attic.
The north wing has a rebuilt ridge stack, square framing set on a rubble plinth, and 19th-century barge boards at the north end. The east side includes a 19th-century bay at the left end, with a door below and mock framing above that contains a pair of casements. The original part has 12 panels with two pairs of casements above a triple casement and a pair below. Curved tension braces are present at the upper angles. The north end features curved angle braces, a pair of casements in the attic and first floor, and a 4-light casement on the ground floor.
On the west side, there is a barge-boarded dormer, a first-floor casement pair, and a triple casement. The ground floor has a tiled lean-to on the left with crude balusters filling three openings, and a rubble stone wall on the right with a triple casement. The end bay is a 19th-century addition with mock framing above the door, which is set in a 19th-century gabled porch featuring barge boards and similar crude balusters on the front and sides.
The 19th-century added range on the right has a west end barge-boarded gable with a canted bay window featuring a mullion-and-transom design of 1:3:1 lights, along with a 3-light window above with a hoodmould. The north front showcases an ornate stone center porch with barge boards, a Tudor-arch door with a hoodmould, and the Poynder arms above. To the right, there is a 3-light mullion window below and a 2-light window above, both under a barge-boarded dormer gable, with hoodmoulds. To the left, a slightly advanced barge-boarded gable features a mullion-and-transom canted bay window of 1:3:1 lights and a 2-light window above with a hoodmould. The east wall is roughcast. The south front is simpler, with a blank gable to the left, cambered head casement windows, and three eaves dormer gables. The 19th-century addition is likely designed by Henry Weaver, who was the agent to the Poynder estate.
