Description
Manor Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, now a detached house, dating to the mid-to-late 17th century, with alterations from the 19th century. It is constructed of random rubble limestone with roughcast render, ashlar chimneys, and a plain tile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan and extends to two storeys with an attic. A single-storey outbuilding on the south-east side is not of special interest.
The projecting wing on the south-west side has a parapet gable at its end and recessed chamfered mullioned windows: a three-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window above, both with hoodmoulds. A 20th-century doorway is situated to the right. The north-west side of this wing features a three-light ground-floor window, a two-light and a two-light window on the upper floor, and a two-light window set within the full attic parapet gable. The main range to the left has a full attic gable with a two-light window, and below this, a two-window, three-light chamfered mullioned casement fenestration, all with hoodmoulds. A 19th-century porch is located in the angle, having a Tudor-arched opening and a Tudor-arched side window, both with hoodmoulds. The south-east side has a parapet gable to the left, containing a single two-light casement to the upper floor and latticed lead lights in the attic. Single stair lights are positioned to the right, with the upper floor having a latticed fixed light. Further to the right are timber casement windows. An eaves-mounted chimney is at the left-hand end of the elevation. The north-east side features a gable end with an off-centre projecting chimney stack. Scattered 19th- and 20th-century casements are present. A doorway to the right of the gable has a four-panel door and a porch with a hipped roof.
The interior suggests the wing is the earliest part of the building, featuring a former external doorway on the north-east end. The eastern corner is timber-framed and likely from the early 18th century. The north-western part of the main range may also be early 18th century but has been altered in the 19th century. The wing contains a spiral staircase and beams with pointed stepped stops, along with run-out stops.
