Description
Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1845, constructed from coursed, dressed red sandstone with a slate roof. It has an irregular plan, featuring two storeys and an attic, along with a much lower two-storey wing on the east side. The entrance front facing Manor Road has four bays and two of these are prominent.
The second bay includes a two-storey porch with buttresses flanking a pointed arch under a drip mould. Below an embattled parapet, there is a single-light window. The third bay is gabled and features transomed wooden casements set in chamfered ashlar surrounds with projecting sills, including a four-light window beneath a three-light window and a single-light attic window.
To the right, set back, is another gable with a projecting stack and a cross-window. The stack has a slit window on the first floor. The first bay, which is set back from the porch, has a buttress to the left of a tall casement and a small first-floor window in a gabled half dormer. The gable copings are roll-moulded, and multi-flue stacks rise from the main ridge above the porch and the third bay, while the fourth bay has a lateral stack with three flues.
On the left side, the fenestration mirrors that of the front third bay. The two-storey wing features a shallow gabled projection with paired sash windows beneath a cross window, along with a small cross window on the right and another above in a gabled half dormer. The front and right end gables have ashlar copings, and there is a central ridge stack.
The farmhouse is marked as New Manor House on the 1851 Ordnance Survey map, indicating that the farm likely relocated to this site during the construction of the Furness Railway.
