Old Stable And Upper Room At Manor Farm

The Old Stable and Upper Room at Manor Farm is a stable with a loft above and a carriage house, now partly converted into a dwelling. It dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. The right section is timber-framed with square brick panels, while the left section is constructed from flint and limestone. The carriage house is built in English garden wall bond brick and features a half-hipped thatched roof, creating an L-shaped plan.

The building is single-storey with an attic and has four windows. There is a planked stable door on the right side with a 2-light leaded transom above. The left side has three 20th-century sash windows on the ground floor, along with two eyebrow dormers with sashes and two with casements on the first floor, plus a half-glazed 20th-century door accessed by wooden steps. The right return displays an exposed full cruck and 20th-century casements, while the left return has two sashes on both the ground and first floors. The rear wall features light timber-framing on a rubble stone plinth, with an outshut on the right that includes a 20th-century entrance to the converted cottage.

Inside the eastern part, the stable retains timber and cast-iron stalls, and the structure is a 3-bay cruck-built design with collars and full crucks. The western part consists of 3½ bays and has unusual collar and tie-beam trusses with curved bracing, with the tie-beams positioned below the level of the eaves. This section was converted into a cottage in the 1970s.
