Description
Manor House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, with later additions and alterations in the late 17th, early 18th, and late 18th centuries. It is constructed of rubble and has a concrete interlocking tile roof. The building follows a T-shaped plan, comprising a cross wing to the left, a central hall, a rear kitchen wing, and a later main range to the right.
The front elevation has a 1:1:2 arrangement of first-floor windows. A two-storey gabled porch, dating from the early 18th century, is situated between the second and third windows, featuring a ground-floor light vent, a two-light chamfered mullion window with lead cames on the first floor, shaped kneelers, and ashlar coping to the gable. The right return of the porch has a 20th-century part-glazed door within a quoined, chamfered surround. Inside the porch, a 17th-century two-panel door is found within a quoined, chamfered surround.
The cross wing, dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, has quoins. A four-light ovolo-section double-chamfered mullion window with stanchions is on the ground floor, while a three-light chamfered mullion window is on the first floor. The gable reveals a lower roofline, possibly indicating a cruck-framed profile, along with shaped kneelers and gable coping. The hall, dating from the late 17th century, has 20th-century casement windows of two and three lights on the ground floor and three lights on the first floor. An ashlar stack is located between the cross wing and the hall. A straight joint indicates a later addition to the right, constructed of coursed rubble with quoins. This addition features a 20th-century part-glazed door in an ashlar architrave with bases and a triangular head, along with a bay of 20th-century twelve-pane casement windows in ashlar surrounds, and garage doors. A further twelve-pane casement window is above on the first floor. Shaped kneelers and ashlar coping are present to the right. An ashlar stack is situated between the third and fourth bays.
At the rear of the cross wing, there is a board door on the ground floor, a three-light chamfered mullion window with stanchions (partially obscured by a later outbuilding), a two-light timber casement window to the staircase, and a two-light chamfered mullion window on the first floor.
The interior features chamfered beams and stop-chamfered joists. A-section roof trusses are present in the cross wing.
