Description
Manor Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dated 1780, constructed from coursed rubble limestone with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high, with a parallel two-storey range at part of the rear and a single-storey wing with an attic on the southeast side.
The front features a three-window arrangement, with outer three-light mullioned casements that are taller on the ground floor. There is a central two-light casement on the upper floor and a small two-light casement above a flat-roofed porch that lights the hall, all of which have hoodmoulds. Above the doorway is a datestone inscribed with 'C C / 1780', indicating that Charles Coxwell was the Lord of Ablington Manor at that time. The gable end chimneys are made of ashlar and have plain caps.
On the north side, there are two gables, with the left gable featuring a projecting chimney on a short corbel table. The central doorway has a plank door with a single-light casement above it. The south side has a blank gable end on the left, while the wing extends back to the right, featuring a gable with an upper floor three-light recessed cavetto mullioned casement that also has a hoodmould. The rear of the building has a three-window arrangement with two-light mullioned casements, all dating from the mid-19th century. The interior has not been inspected.
