Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse, with later additions dating to circa 1800 and the 19th century. It is built of regular coursed and squared limestone with a Collyweston slate roof. Originally planned as a two-unit building with a cross passage oriented at right angles to the road, it now has an L-shaped layout. The front elevation, facing Main Street, has a three-window arrangement, with a gable to the left. A four-light stone mullion window with a hood mould is situated on the ground floor of the gable, and a similar three-light window is above. To the right are 19th-century casement windows, all with ashlar dressings and wood lintels. A central four-panel door is similarly dressed, with a leaded casement window immediately above. Ashlar quoins indicate a straight joint between the original gable and a later range to the right. Ashlar gable parapets are topped with a single urn finial. The cross wing has ashlar ridge and end stacks, with moulded corbelling. A yellow brick stack is at the end of the right-hand side. The elevation to the left is an irregular three-window range at ground level, with a three-light stone mullion window to the right of centre. Several 19th-century casement windows are set under wood lintels. A single-light fire window, with a moulded stone surround, is centrally located on the ground floor. A mid-to-late 19th-century, single-bay, two-storey extension, set back to the left, also has 19th-century casement windows. Rear elevations of both wings feature 19th-century lean-to extensions with catslide roofs. Though the interior was not inspected, the north room of the cross wing has a stop-chamfered spine beam with run-out stops indicative of a former cross passage. There is a rebuilt open fireplace and a 17th-century fireplace at first floor level, both with moulded stone surrounds, a shelf, and a four-centred arch-head. An 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and a closed string has been reset, and window reveals are panelled.
