Description

Manor Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dated 1684, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ironstone dressings and has a plain-tile roof from the 20th century, along with stone end stacks. The building has a T-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall with an attic, featuring a three-window range.

To the right of the centre, there is a part-glazed panelled door with a wooden lintel and a straight hood supported by brackets. The ground and first floors have three-light casement windows with cemented lintels, while there are two-light windows to the left of centre that light the staircase. One of these windows at the semi-basement level is blocked and surrounded by former stone mullion windows in ironstone. A 20th-century casement window is located on the middle landing, and there is an ovolo-moulded stone mullion window just below the eaves.

There are also a pair of cellar windows to the left of centre, originally featuring a chamfered stone mullion; one window on the far left is blocked, and the other has lost its mullion. The farmhouse has a chamfered ironstone-coped plinth, ironstone quoins, and gabled dormers to the left and right of centre, which have ovolo-moulded stone mullion windows with hood moulds. Above the right dormer, there is a datestone inscribed "S/FL.1684" with a rose.

The rear wing has undergone significant changes to its fenestration and has been extended. Inside, the farmhouse features chamfered spine beams, some with ogee stops, an open fireplace with a stop-chamfered spine beam, a stone cellar, and an open-well staircase leading from the ground floor to the attic. The staircase has barley-sugar balusters on bulbous feet and panelled newels, and there is a small semi-basement room or half-cellar. The roof is supported by collar trusses.
