Manor Farm Farmhouse

Manor Farm Farmhouse is likely from the early 17th century, with additions and alterations in the mid-to-late 17th century, the first half of the 18th century, and around 1900. The construction uses English bond brickwork, with some irregular sections; timber framing, brick-nogged on the front facing the entrance, and rendered infill on the rear. The roof is tiled.

The farmhouse is a four-bay fronted building, one room deep, with a two-and-a-half-story height. A cross wing extends from the third bay, and is two rooms deep. All windows are casements, dating from around 1900. The gable facing the road has a three-light window on the right, a small blocked window on the left, a plain string course above the three-light window, and a two-light window off-centre to the left, all with cambered brick arches. Above the three-light window is a blocked, wider window, its centre subsequently infilled with bricks taken from a new opening below, featuring a brick-on-edge head. A chimney rises from the right eaves.

The right return has a blocked window with a cambered brick arch. The entrance is accessed by an open wooden trellis porch with a boarded gable, decorative barge boards, and a corrugated-iron roof, sheltering a four-panel door, the top two panels glazed. The rear of the right return has a three-light window with a cambered brick arch and a string course, interrupted at the right end by a blocked stair window, with two bricks remaining of its cambered head; a two-light window sits above this, slightly to the left. To the right is timber framing, resting on a stone plinth, two panels high per floor, with a three-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window above; jowls are visible on the corner posts, originally supporting a gable. A brick bay to the right has been cut down on the left, the reason for which is unclear; it features a two-light window and a blocked door, both with cambered brick heads, as well as a two-light window above. Wide-angled eaves slope downwards over the timber-framed section. Chimneys are located from the eaves on the left and on the ridge one bay from the right, with a further lateral chimney at the rear of the wing nearest the road.

Inside, a brick end is situated near the road, leading to a large room that originally contained two smaller rooms at the road end. Exposed beams with wide chamfers and bar stops are present; the end of one beam stops short of the wall. Above the chimney is a square room with a timber-framed cupboard adjoining. Tie-beam and collar trusses support the roof, with angled struts and half-trusses in between, and two pairs of purlins. In the cross wing, on the ground floor front, a moulded dado rail and exposed ceiling beam are visible. Straight wind braces are in the roof. Originally, a wide fireplace was located at the end of the brick section beyond, with a tapering chimney above on the first floor. The front room of the cross wing is said to have featured a lion and unicorn painted above the fireplace, surrounded by texts, which have since been covered with wallpaper. The farmhouse forms a group with Longford Lodge.
