Manor Farmhouse And Attached Outbuildings

Manor Farmhouse and attached outbuildings date from 1677, with 20th-century alterations. The main farmhouse is built of red brick in English bond, set on a plinth of coursed squared limestone. It has a plain-tile roof and a brick ridge stack. Originally, the house followed a three-unit through-passage plan. It is two storeys high and has a three-window front. A nine-panel door, replacing a window, is positioned on the far left, with a flat-arched brick surround and overlight. Leaded horizontal oval windows are present on the ground and first floors to the left of the centre, and some retain original glass. A painted datestone on the ground floor centre, below the string course, is inscribed "GS/1677". Cross windows with flat-arched heads are on the ground floor to the right, flanking a blocked doorway. Similar windows are on the first floor. Brick detailing includes moulded brick coping to the plinth and a moulded brick string course. Cross windows are also visible on the right-hand side and rear elevations. The ridge stack features four closely-set square brick flues, reduced in height, now topped with 20th-century terracotta chimney pots.

A lower, two-storey outbuilding adjoins the farmhouse to the left, and is continued by a single-storey outbuilding. The two-storey section is of red brick in English bond with a plain-tile roof and a three-light casement window on the ground floor, with a wood lintel. The single-storey outbuilding is of brick in Flemish bond, with some flared headers on a coursed rubble plinth, and has a corrugated iron roof.

The interior features ogee stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Back-to-back open fireplaces are present; the fireplace in the large room to the left of the centre has a slightly cambered bressumer. A salt cupboard recess is found to the side of the chimney breast in the current passage. Winder stairs lead from the ground floor to the attic. Original features include old stud partitions and old plank doors with wrought-iron hinges. The roof structure contains collars to the principal trusses and two tiers of purlins.
