Description
Manor Farmhouse is a building dating from the 15th or 16th century, which was enlarged and altered in the 17th century, with further modifications in the early 19th century. The south range is timber framed and has been extended to the north, where it is cased in 17th-century coursed rubblestone. The roofs are covered with old tiles. The south range consists of three bays and features a crosswing at the east, making it the earliest part of the house, and it stands two storeys high. The north wings, which have parallel roofs, were added in the 17th century, during which time the south roofs were modified and the gables were removed.
The west front has three bays with recessed barred sash windows and a modern central door. The north elevation features two gables, sash windows, and French doors with margin lights on the right side. All windows are from the 19th century, but the outlines of differently located and sized 17th-century window openings are clearly visible. The east elevation includes a stone-based lateral stack with one remaining old diagonal brick shaft. There is a 17th-century stack located between the north ranges and the left bay of the south range. The south door frame is heavily chamfered and dates from the 16th century.
Inside, the southwest room contains a massive moulded spine beam and cross beam, with chamfered and stopped joists. The northwest room features a four-centre arched fireplace with moulded jambs and a reformed head, along with heavily chamfered cross beams on the ceiling. An early 18th-century closed string staircase with spiral balusters is present, and the south range and two-bay crosswing have queen strut roofs from the 15th or early 16th century, while the remainder has 17th-century double butt purlin roofs.
