Description
The Old Manor Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, dating from the early to mid-18th century, with a later enlargement in the late 18th or early 19th century to the rear. The main part of the farmhouse has a roughcast finish on rubble stone construction, a stone slate roof, and ashlar end stacks. It originally consisted of a two-storey, attic range with a lean-to on the left side, and was extended to the rear with a two-storey range split into two opposing hip roofs. A single-storey wing extends to the rear on the left, and a smaller wing is located to the right, likely originally a farm office. There are five windows, featuring two-light wood mullions with multi-paned glazing bar casements and ventilators. The front elevation has four similar windows on the ground floor, with a central stone doorcase featuring an open pediment supported by scroll brackets. The door is six-panelled, with the top two panels glazed and the rest fielded. Paired casements are present in the left-hand lean-to, and a twelve-pane sash window is found in the former office, alongside a second stone doorcase set in an angle, projecting with a flat top and possibly a renewed six-panel door. Gabled dormers are visible on the rear roof slope. The rear windows are 20th-century replacements. The interior includes a stick baluster staircase with a ramped handrail in the original front range, and two reeded doorcases which were inserted during or following the construction of the rear range.
