Description
Manor Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a house, dating from the 17th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from thinly bedded limestone and features a stone slate roof on the main body, with artificial stone slate on the 19th-century range. The building has a long rectangular plan, with the 17th-century range accompanied by 19th-century stabling and a store with accommodation above at the left gable end. There is likely a 19th-century lean-to extension at the rear of the 17th-century range, and a 20th-century garage extension that is not of special interest, positioned at right angles to the 19th-century range.
The 17th-century range has two storeys and an attic, featuring a four-bay, three-windowed facade. All windows are three-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with stopped hoods and horizontal glazing bars, located on the first floor and to the right of the ground floor, where there is a 20th-century gabled porch. At the rear, there are two additional windows: one flat-chamfered and one double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement, both with stopped hoods, lighting the first floor.
The gable end facing the road has an early 19th-century canted bay window, which is two storeys high. The ground floor features 12-pane sashes, while the first floor has 9-pane sashes, all with horns and triple keystones. A string course runs between the ground and first floors, and above the bay window is a single light, double-chamfered garret window.
The 19th-century outbuildings are one and a half storeys tall, with the upper floor lit by four three-light hipped dormers. Stone steps lead up to a 19th-century plank door, with a garage door to the left of the steps and two four-pane casements to the right. There is also a part-glazed 20th-century door and a two-light casement set within a formerly segmental-headed opening. The main body features a quadruple axial stack and stepped gable coping, with additional axial stacks on the 19th-century outbuildings. The interior has not been inspected.
