Description

Manfield House is likely a pair of late 18th or early 19th century cottages, altered around 1903 and now used as a single house. The construction is of coursed rubble and cobbles, with a pantile roof finished with stone slates at the eaves. The house has two storeys and six first-floor windows, with a distinctive polygonal end to the left. Quoins mark the ends and angles of the polygon. A square bay window with a hipped Westmorland slate roof is positioned in the fourth bay of the ground floor. Casement windows are fitted throughout, featuring projecting ashlar sills and flush lintels. The roof is hipped and the house has ashlar stacks positioned between the first and second, third and fourth, and fifth and sixth bays.

The rear of the building exhibits an irregular plan, including a round-arched landing window with intersecting glazing bars. On the left return, a French window is at ground floor level, and a casement window above. A 20th century polygonal two-storey porch is set into the angle between the polygon and the rear staircase range. This porch features boarded oak doors beneath a fanlight with radial glazing bars in a round-arched opening; the first floor has a round-arched window with radial glazing bars, and a castellated parapet.

The interior contains several architectural fittings imported around 1903. The polygonal west sitting room features painted oak square moulded panelling, along with some reused 18th century fielded panels and window shutters. Various rooms contain doors: some of six fielded panels, others with six reeded panels, and one Victorian door with shaped panels formerly from Cliffe Hall. A wide oak staircase is present. First-floor rooms are unceiled, revealing king-post trusses with curved braces in the polygonal bedroom, and queen-strut trusses at the east end.
