Manor Farmhouse And Attached Outbuildings

Manor Farmhouse and attached outbuildings is a Grade II* listed farmhouse that consists of two buildings from the 16th century and is dated 1721. The structure is made of coursed squared limestone and features a Collyweston stone slate roof with coped gables and moulded stone ridge and end stacks. It has two storeys and a chamfered plinth. The central porch has a round-headed doorway with a hood-mould and a studded door. Above the porch are three-light stone mullioned windows with round-headed lights, and there are iron-framed gudgion-hung casement openings.

To the left, there is a projecting wing that has similar windows on both the ground and first floors, with the ground floor window being longer, possibly lengthened, and originally featuring a gable end stack. There is a lean-to structure between the porch and the wing. To the right of the porch is a range that was rebuilt in 1721, as indicated by a datestone in the gable end, which has three-light square-headed hollow-chamfered stone mullioned windows, with the ground floor windows being longer. Attached to the right is a low range of outbuildings. At the rear, there is an L-shaped wing, likely from the earlier 16th century, which has small one- and two-light stone mullioned windows with four-centred heads and a tiny reset cusped light.

Inside, the farmhouse has a cross-passage plan. The ground-floor room to the left of the cross-passage features a wide late 16th-century chamfered segmental fireplace that now incorporates a bolection moulded chimneypiece, which was brought in the 20th century from Boughton House, where it may have originally been intended for the "unfinished wing." The late 16th-century roof over this area is still intact, with a truss that is arch-braced to the tie, featuring queen struts to the collar and wind-bracing. A 16th-century moulded stone chimneypiece has recently been uncovered in the room above the porch. The original plan of the farmhouse has been obscured by later alterations.
