Description
East Manley Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, possibly incorporating earlier work. It is primarily constructed of stone, with some cob at the rear, and has a roughcast finish under a gabled slate roof adorned with crested roof tiles. Originally designed as a three-room, through-passage plan, the lower end wing has been demolished, resulting in a truncated lower end room. The current rear wing appears to date from the 19th century and has been enlarged and partially rebuilt in the late 20th century.
The farmhouse features an axial stack that heats the higher end of the hall and now also the parlour, which was originally heated by a front stack that has since been dismantled. The building is two storeys high and has a front elevation with a four-window range, featuring 2 and 3-light casement windows that look to be from the 20th century. To the left, there is a brick, slate-roofed lean-to that occupies the side of the former parlour stack, and to the right of centre, there is a brick, slate-roofed porch.
On the left-hand elevation, there are 19th-century windows at the end of the main range, which have brick arches and keystones. Inside, the hall and parlour each have two cross beams that are chamfered with double ovolo-moulding and fillet; the beam in the higher end is only moulded on one side. There are remains of chamfered jambs from a doorway between the two rooms, and chamfered lintels above both fireplaces. A three-light timber window, now located internally in the hall passage, has a chamfered surround and mullions, along with latticed leading. The chamber above the hall features a plaster ceiling with ovolo-moulded panels and a cornice decorated with fleur-de-lis, but lacks central figures. The roof space is ceiled and contains four crucks, likely all jointed, although only one is clearly identifiable.
