Description
Manor Farm is a large house, dating from the 18th century, with extensions added in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and again in the 20th century. It is constructed of roughly squared and dressed limestone, with rusticated quoins, and has mostly stone slate roofing, with some concrete tile and slate at the rear. The stacks are covered with incised render. The building has a rectangular plan, with a stairs projection off-centre to the rear.
The symmetrical main facade has a 2:3:2 window arrangement, while a later 3-windowed extension is situated to the left. The windows are 12-pane sashes with plain architraves, keystones, and moulded sills. A blind window, painted to resemble a sash, is located at the upper right. A horizontal band runs above the ground and first floor windows, interrupted by a segmental pediment above the central window. The central entrance features double part-glazed doors with glazing bars, a triple keystone, and rusticated quoins. Three hipped roof dormers light the attic.
The south gable end has similar fenestration to the garden front, but also includes a modillion eaves cornice and a Diocletian eaves dormer with a dressed stone architrave. A single sash window is found on the first floor of the stairs projection, and a small 6-pane sash, with a dressed stone surround keystone and imposts, features in the gable. The west front of the extension has three windows and matching bands as the main body. Segmental-headed 2 and 3-light window casements are located in the north gable end. A 19th-century four-panelled door, with the upper two panels glazed and a plain glass fanlight, is positioned off-centre to the left.
The interior retains an original 18th-century open-well staircase, featuring turned balusters, a wreathed handrail, and decorative brackets to the risers. A panelled room on the ground floor has a bolection moulded fireplace. This fireplace is further embellished with fluted columns and a frieze containing a plaque with a pastoral scene at the centre, flanked by festoons. The C18 range and late 18th - early 19th century extension have hipped roofs.
