Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-18th century, with some 20th-century alterations. It is built of coursed squared limestone and features a plain-tile hipped roof with brick ridge stacks. The building is two stories high and has a six-window range, forming an L shape. The main facade faces the garden to the southeast and includes a central 20th-century double-leaf part-glazed door set in a conservatory porch. The ground and first floors are adorned with 12-pane sash windows that have flat-arched stone heads, raised quoins, and moulded wood eaves. At the rear left, there is a wing with a three-window elevation facing High Street, featuring similar sash windows and heads. To the right, there is a lower two-story extension, and the entrance to the rear is through a 20th-century porch. Inside, the farmhouse has stop-chamfered spine beams, an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer, and an open-well staircase with twisted balusters on bulbous feet. There is also a stone cellar.
