Description

Manor Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the mid-17th century, with extensions added in the mid to late 18th century and the 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone and sandstone, topped with a stone slate roof and features ashlar stacks.

The original mid-17th century section is rectangular in plan and has a 19th-century lean-to extension at the rear of the 18th-century range, along with extensions at both gable ends. This configuration creates an overall 'L'-shaped plan. The 17th-century part is two storeys high with an attic, which is lit by two eaves dormers with two lights each. The ground and first floors have double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with two, three, and four lights, some featuring hollow-moulded mullions. All casements have stopped hoods and are fitted with leaded panes or glazing bars.

The 1.5-storey extension on the left projects forward and includes a small two-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned casement in the gable end at the first-floor level. The 18th-century range is symmetrical with two storeys and three windows on the garden front, which are lit by 12-pane sash windows with dressed stone surrounds and keystones at the first floor. The ground floor features two canted bays also with sash windows. A central double part-glazed 20th-century door is sheltered by a flat stone canopy supported on moulded stone brackets.

To the right gable end, there is a two-storey single-bay extension with two-light casements on both floors, with the upper casement set within the blocking of a former doorway, suggesting that the first floor may have been used for storage. The left gable end has a single-storey extension featuring a three-light metal casement with leaded panes and a part-glazed 20th-century door to the right. Concrete lintels are present over the window and doorway. The building has axial and gable-end stacks with cappings and skirtings. The interior has not been inspected.
