Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed and covered in 18th-century red and blue brick, featuring a mix of English bond and chequer patterns. The first floor of the front elevation is painted roughcast, and the gables are tile hung. The building has an old tiled roof and three chimneys with corbelled heads, along with a moulded brick eaves cornice.
The house is two storeys high, with a moulded brick plinth and a first-floor band. The front elevation consists of three bays with 19th-century three-light transomed casements that have segmental arched heads. The right-hand bays project forward as gabled wings, with the right-hand wing being taller. There is a door located at the angle of the right-hand wing, which has a lean-to tiled canopy and a two-light casement window above it. The left-hand elevation features two gables, with one three-light casement window on the left side of the ground floor.
On the rear elevation, there is one similar window on each floor and one in the centre of the staircase, along with two later windows on the right-hand side of the first floor. A lower 19th-century wing is located on the north side, built of brick with a tiled roof.
Inside, the original 17th-century oak staircase features large turned balusters. The south wall displays exposed timber framing and includes 17th-century wall paintings depicting Hercules and the Lion, Phedra and the Swan, and the Signs of the Zodiac.
