Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with a timber frame that was encased in the 18th century. The front is rendered, while the sides are red brick, topped with a hipped Bridgwater tile roof and featuring a stack at the rear of the ridge. The building has two storeys and a three-window front, which includes a painted brick plinth, a timber moulded eaves cornice, and exposed-box 12-pane sash windows. There is a door to the left of the center that has been removed. The roof slopes down lower at the rear, where there is a rear door. A chequered-brick rear wing has plain tiles, and there is an early 19th-century converted brick outbuilding beyond. During repair work, the front timber framing was revealed, showing three tiers of angle braces at each end. Inside, there are heavy chamfered beams in the room to the east of the stack, and a 18th-century plaster cornice in the room to the west. The upstairs center room features mid-18th-century fielded panelling around the overmantel.
