Description
Manor Farmhouse is a house located at the end of a row, with possible origins in the 16th century, and reshaped in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed from near-ashlar Ham stone and features a plain clay tiled roof with bands of scallop tiles and stone slate base courses, topped with coped gables and stone chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and five bays.
The windows in bays one to three are hollow chamfered mullioned windows set in chamfered recesses; bay one has no upper window, while all are three-light except for the lower bay three on the right, which is two-light and has a stepped but continuous label below. To the left of bay four, there is a slightly projecting chimney stack with offsets leading to a single octagonal top with a moulded cap. Bays four and five feature reserve-chamfer mullioned windows of three lights, each with separate labels. To the left of bay three, there is a chamfered cambered-arched doorway with a studded boarded door.
On the east gable, there is a single-storey 19th-century angled bay window with a flat roof. The rear of the building has 20th-century extensions, but it also retains a moulded square-headed doorway and some transitional casements from the 18th century, which are ovolo moulded, with one featuring transoms. The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to have a three-room cross passage plan with little surviving detail, except for the west room, which includes wall panelling, moulded ceiling coving, and an angled corner fireplace. The roof trusses have side-lapped pegged collars and in-line tenoned purlins, with some evidence of reused timbers.
