Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has its origins in the mid-17th century, with alterations and encasements made in the mid-18th century, along with later additions and changes. The building features some internal timber framing and is constructed of brick with some pebble banding, partly covered in roughcast. It has a 20th-century cement-tile roof and stands two storeys high with a partial cellar.

The front of the house has four windows on the first floor, and there is a continuous outshut at the rear, which includes a small single-storey addition on the right. The first bay has been converted into a separate cottage, featuring an old boarded door to the right of a damaged two-light horizontally-sliding sash window. There is a first-floor band beneath a similar window with a projecting sill, and a projecting end stack on the left. The other bays each have a four-pane sash window with a projecting sill on both floors, and there is a continuous brick band. A part-glazed door is located between the third and fourth bays, and there is a central brick ridge stack.

At the rear, the exposed brickwork sits on a pebble plinth and features small boarded window openings, along with an old six-panel door leading into the side of the one-storey addition. The left side of the building shows an embedded wall-post at the junction with the outshut, and an exposed mid-rail is overlain by an exterior stack that has a front offset and bands. The right side has later exposed walling with pebble and brick bonding.

Inside, the left end cottage contains chamfered oak ceiling joists, which are only partially visible. There is a jowled rear wall-post and tie beam exposed in the first-floor room. In the main house, a chamfered spine beam with one half-pyramidal stop is found in the left-end room, and common joists likely remain behind the plaster. The rear-right wall is exposed in the pantry, which is set approximately two metres in from the end wall and continues to the first floor. On the front side of the central fireplace in each ground-floor left room, there are boarded pine cupboards with H/L hinges. A blocked doorway from the ground-floor left room is visible from the cellar steps in the outshut; it likely features a 17th-century boarded door in a framed opening with a triangular head. There is a vaulted cellar beneath the rear garden, and the rear wall with the outshut may conceal more framing than what has been described. The roof construction is likely from the early 19th century.
