Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 17th century, substantially rebuilt in the 18th century, with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of dressed limestone, with some timber framing retained to the rear, and has a thatched roof, with brick stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with a gable end facing the road, and includes a through passage.
The main two-storey, three-window front has a central 4-panelled door protected by a flat wooden hood on brackets. A 19th-century three-light casement window is located on either side of the door. The first floor features three three-light leaded casement windows. A late 18th-century two-storey addition to the right features a 12-pane tripartite sash window on both the ground and first floors; the basement has a segmental-headed opening with a tiled, half-hipped roof. A mid 18th-century wing to the left has a 4-panelled door set within a 19th-century gabled porch, with a four-light casement window to its left and a one-light casement to its right. The first floor of this wing incorporates a two-light and a four-light leaded casement. The left return has a one-light casement and a bull's eye window to the first floor. The rear of this wing features patio doors, and two-light and one-light casement windows. An outshut to the right of the wing has two-light casement windows, with a 20th-century dormer above. A 19th-century extension to the wing incorporates 20th-century casements in what was formerly an open-fronted wall.
The rear of the main range displays 17th-century square-panelled timber framing to the left, preserving one blocked three-light wooden mullioned window. The wall is partly rebuilt in uncoursed limestone in the 18th century, with two two-light casements to the ground floor and three to the first floor. To the left is an 18th-century lean-to covered passage with three two-light leaded casements. The right return of the late 18th-century range has blocked sashes with flat arches and keystones, along with two-light casements. An attached weatherboarded outbuilding on the right has a planked door and a three-light casement.
The interior of the 17th-century range has chamfered beams, including stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel, also with ogee stops, in the room to the right of the front door. The mid-18th-century wing also has chamfered beams with stepped stops and features 19th-century four-panelled doors within moulded architraves. The roof over the 17th-century range has partly exposed trusses with kneed principals. This is a building with a complex history, likely originating as a 17th-century timber-framed cottage with a through passage. It was rebuilt in stone in the mid-18th century, when the south wing was added, and further refenestrated in the mid-19th century.
