Description

Manor Farmhouse is a house with a northeast wing dated 1657, which has been altered and extended to the southwest in the 18th century and later. The building features a render over stone and brick with old tile roofs and has an irregular L-plan. The northeast wing has flanking chimneys made of thin brick, each with two square shafts set diagonally, topped with moulded caps and bases. The house is two storeys high, with an attic and cellars, and consists of three bays. It has a plinth, and the central bay is gabled with flanking battered buttresses. The left bay is blank, while the center bay has barred and glazed double doors in a sash window on the first floor and a small single wooden casement in the attic. Below the upper window is a painted date plaque framed with rendered brick, tapering shafts, a pediment, and a moulded base. The right bay features a three-light transomed wooden casement on the ground floor and a 20th-century sash window above. There are also sash windows on the left gable and the rear of the building. The southwest wing has a rebuilt brick chimney at the gable and is also two storeys high with an attic and cellar. It has two bays of irregular sash windows, a barred wooden window in the cellar, and a paired barred wooden casement in a gabled dormer. A half-glazed door is located in a 20th-century half-timbered porch at the angle with the northeast wing. There is a lower two-storey extension of two bays to the southwest, and a lower wing at right angles to the rear, which was formerly cow-sheds and was incorporated into the house in the 20th century.
