Description
Manor Farmhouse is an early 17th-century house with a barn range attached to its east side, situated on Weedon High Street. The right wall and part of the rear are timber-framed with heavy braces, thin brick infill laid in a herringbone pattern, and a rubble stone plinth. The front of a projecting bay on the right was rebuilt in brick in the 19th century, while the rest of the facade is rendered. The roof is tiled and hipped over the projection. A fine, rusticated chimney of thin brick is located between the left bays, with a smaller chimney to the left. There are two 17th and 18th-century external brick stacks to the right side, the front one featuring a brick diaper in a recessed panel. The house has an L-shaped layout.
The house is two storeys and has an attic, comprising three bays. The left bay has a pair of 20th-century 2-light wooden casements on each main floor. The centre bay features a similar casement to the ground floor and a cross casement in a gabled semi-dormer above. A 4-panelled door and a single casement are found within a tiled lean-to porch to the right of the centre bay, with a small gabled dormer window above the staircase. The right bay has 3-light leaded casements and a painted stone panel re-set bearing the date 1649. Lean-to extensions extend to the rear.
The interior features stop-chamfered spine beams and good 17th and 18th-century fittings. A 17th-century two-storey staircase has turned wooden balusters, a moulded handrail, a closed string with bosses, and ball finials to the newel posts. A room at the rear right has 17th-century panelling and a stone fireplace of uncertain date. A room to the front right has early to mid-18th-century panelling, with a contemporary overmantel featuring pilasters flanking a painted panel. A similar overmantel is found in a room on the first floor left, which also contains the remains of a 17th-century coved ceiling with ornamental plaster panels. A central ground floor room has a wide, slightly angled fireplace with a moulded wooden mantelpiece. The roof contains large wind braces.
The front railings are early 19th century, made of cast iron with moulded spearhead finials. A barn is attached to the right of the house via a timber-framed gateway. This barn is mostly of coursed rubble stone, with a band of timber framing and herringbone brickwork below the eaves, and a hipped tiled roof. Eaves rest on four carved wooden brackets dated 1687. The right side of the barn has been altered with a concrete lintel over a wide cart entry. An 18th-century barn attached to the rear is of three bays, with weatherboard cladding on a timber frame and a corrugated iron roof.
