Description
Manor Farmhouse and the former Seahorse Public House is likely a Dower House that has been converted into a farmhouse and public house. It dates from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The building is constructed from squared coursed limestone and limestone and lias ashlar, topped with a Collyweston slate roof. The original layout is unclear, but it is now double depth.
The structure stands two storeys high with an attic. The main facade features a six-window range, with the central bay projecting forward as a gabled cross-wing. To the left of the cross-wing is the Manor Farmhouse, which has three-light stone mullion windows on the first floor. There is a large 19th-century casement window on the ground floor far left, beneath a shallow stone arch, and a 19th-century sash window to the left of the cross-wing. A 19th-century part-glazed door, located between the windows, has a square head with a moulded stone surround.
The cross-wing includes a four-light stone mullion window on the ground floor and a similar three-light window on the first floor, along with a Venetian-style window in the attic. The left return of the cross-wing features two two-light stone mullion windows. To the right of the cross-wing is a three-window range made of lias ashlar with limestone dressings, likely remodelled in the 19th century. This section has tall wooden cross-windows with ashlar surrounds and keyblocks, and a doorway to the left of centre.
There are three roof dormers on either side of the cross-wing, featuring alternating triangular and segmental pediments. The gables have ashlar parapets, and there are ashlar ridge and end stacks with moulded cornices. A 19th-century one-bay extension is attached to the right, which has a blind ground floor window. The cross-wing extends to the rear, with 19th-century ranges running parallel in both directions. The interiors have not been inspected but are believed to contain remnants of open fireplaces, including some from the 17th century.
