Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a house located in South Stainley, North Yorkshire. It dates from the 17th century, with parts of an earlier 16th-century house still visible, and includes elements from the early to mid-19th century. The earlier section is constructed from coursed squared gritstone on the ground floor and coursed rubble above, topped with a pantile roof. The later addition is made of magnesian limestone and features a purple slate roof.

The building is two stories high with a three-bay earlier range and a taller two-story addition at the east end, which has two bays. The earlier range has a central glazed door, a four-light recessed chamfered mullion window to the left, a three-light side-sliding sash window to the right, and two two-light side-sliding sashes on the first floor. It features a bulbous kneeler and gable coping on the left side, along with a tall two-flue corniced external stack. The added block has a glazed door on the left with a four-pane overlight, a four-pane sash window to the right, and a blind window on the first floor to the left, with a blind window to the right. All openings have flat arches, and the windows have projecting stone sills. The left side has a shaped kneeler and gable coping, with a banded stack; the right side has a hipped roof and a similar ridge stack.

The right return features sash windows with glazing bars beneath flat arches. At the rear, there is a rubble-built tunnel-vaulted undercroft, likely serving as a cellar or dairy, which is roofed with tiles. Inside the earlier part, the stone walls enclose three pairs of principal posts, forming a timber house of two bays with a rear aisle and a common rafter roof. A longitudinal ceiling beam has pyramidal chamfer stops, and the stone chimney stacks at each end, with the eastern stack incorporated into the later addition, are contemporary or slightly later. This building is significant for containing extensive remains of a timber-framed house.
