Description

Lenborough Manor Farmhouse is a late 17th and early 18th century farmhouse, with alterations in the later 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone with a plain-tile roof and brick end stacks. The original plan was likely a ‘V’ shape.

The main south-facing front, overlooking the garden, has a two-storey, five-window arrangement. A six-panel central door is approached by three stone steps and has an overlight and flat-arched head. There are 24-pane sash windows to both the ground and first floors, with stone sills and flat-arched heads. One first-floor window to the right of centre is blocked. All sashes are of the same size and with small panes. Four two-light cellar windows, also with flat-arched heads, are visible over a wave-moulded plinth. Quoins and hollow-chamfered stone eaves feature on the main range.

Two-storey wings of coursed squared limestone with plain-tile roofs extend to the rear on the left and right. A space between the wings has been covered with a lean-to roof having a central back door to the yard and a flat-arched head. The wings feature later casement and sash windows set within brick jambs, and with segmental-arched brick heads. The gables of the main range and wings are constructed of thin red bricks laid in a Flemish bond pattern, as are the flues of the end stacks; later brick stacks are to the gable ends of the wings. The rear of the main range is punctuated by two gabled dormer windows.

The interior contains a plain 18th-century staircase. A datestone, said to have been inscribed with the date 1772, was formerly located in the left gable.
