Description
Manor Farmhouse is a large house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features a roughcast exterior with ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof, complete with coped gables and paired ashlar stacks at the ridge and each end. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a seven-window range and three hipped casement dormers.
The main front includes a rubble plinth, flush quoins, a moulded string course, and a coved eaves cornice. The windows are 12-pane sashes set within painted stone architraves, with flush ashlar panels beneath. The central entrance features an early 19th-century part-glazed door with an overlight, situated in an ashlar Roman Doric porch supported by two columns and pilaster responds. Notably, two of the upper windows are dummy.
At the southeast, there is a rear wing with a 16-pane sash window above and a 2-light cyma-moulded recessed mullion window below, along with a brick wall at the south end. The rear of the main range is extended, showcasing four dormers and a rear wall stack from the original structure. The southwest rear wing is constructed of brick and rubble stone.
