Manor Farmhouse And Attached Wall

Manor Farmhouse, originally known as Manor House, is a building that dates from the late 17th century and early 19th century. It is constructed from squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. The original layout of the building is unclear, but it has been modified into an L-shape. The farmhouse stands two storeys high with an attic. The main facade, which is from the early 19th century, has a four-window arrangement of sash windows. To the far right, there is a tripartite sash window, and to the left of the center, there is a mid-19th century two-storey canted wooden bay window. The other windows have glazing bars and are topped with gauged stone heads. The central entrance features a six-panel door, also beneath a gauged stone head. The building has a chamfered plinth throughout and includes three hipped roof dormers, ashlar gable parapets, and ashlar stacks at the ridge and ends.

The left side of the main front has twin gables and two 17th-century doorways in the center, one of which is now blocked. These doorways have moulded stone surrounds and four-centred arch heads. Above the doorways are two-light stone mullion windows, with one window also blocked. In the gable, there is a two-light stone mullion attic window with a moulded string course above it. The rear elevation features a 17th-century wing that projects to the right of a two-window range, with a two-light stone mullion window to the left and a similar, taller window with a transom to the right. There is a moulded string course between the floors and two two-light stone mullion windows above, with the right-hand window blocked. The ashlar gable parapets and a truncated ashlar stack are present at the end.

To the right, there is a range that includes a central four-panel door beneath a wooden lintel and one 19th-century sash window to the right. Attached to the left of the main front is a quadrant wall with built-up coping. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have a 19th-century stair in the central range and is said to contain a 17th-century stair in the south wing. Historical records show that in a drawing from 1702, the building was depicted as a five-bay house with three Dutch style gables. It underwent significant demolition and reconstruction in the early 19th century. The Manor was once owned by the Wood and Palmer families.
