Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 17th century and the 19th century. It is built from thinly-bedded coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring large squared and dressed limestone quoins. The roof is made of stone slate and concrete tiles, with an ashlar stack that has early brick towards the top. The building has a rectangular plan with a later extension at the rear and consists of two storeys, an attic, and a cellar.
The east front has twin gables and features two large 3-light steel casements with transoms on the ground floor, and two 3-light steel casements on the first floor. Both sets of windows are within double-chamfered surrounds, indicating that they likely had stone mullions and transoms originally. There are continuous dripmoulds over both sets of windows, and each gable has a 2-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement.
On the north-facing elevation, there are two 19th-century three-light casements with horizontal glazing bars on the ground floor, one of which is located within a blocked doorway that has a lintel with a keystone, indicating a former projecting stack that has been demolished above the first floor. There is also a small 2-light stone-mullioned casement on the far right, and a 19th-century four-panelled door with a 2-light stone-mullioned hall light above it. A continuous hoodmould runs over the ground floor windows and doorway. Above, there is a 20th-century three-light steel casement within a dressed stone surround, a blind window painted to imitate the latter on the far left, a small double-chamfered 2-light casement on the far right, and a small single-light window in the upper floor of a lean-to on the right. A flat-roofed 2-light eaves dormer is also present.
The south-facing elevation features three 2-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with diamond leaded panes, along with a 20th-century two-light steel casement on the upper left. The building has large projecting stacks at the centre of both the north and south-facing elevations, and flat coping on the gable ends.
Inside, there is a large open fireplace with a stone lintel and a bread oven adjacent to it. The interior also features beams with deep flat chamfers and large stepped steps, as well as square panelled timber-framed partition walls, some of which retain wattle and daub.
