Description

Manor Farm House is a farmhouse primarily from the 19th century, but it includes parts of a manor house dating from the late 16th to early 17th century. The building is constructed from roughly coursed Cary stone with Doulting stone dressings, topped with a hipped plain clay tile roof that has stone slate base courses and features brick chimney stacks. It has a double roof plan, stands two storeys high with attics, and has a three-bay south elevation. The lower part has a Lias stone plinth and features three-light hollow-chamfered mullioned and transomed windows with iron-framed opening lights and internal vertical iron bars, which are not leaded. There is no window in the lower bay 2, but straight joints indicate that one was previously present. The lower bay 3 has a single storey angled bay window with 1+3+1 lights and an openwork parapet on a flat roof. The entrance is located in a projection on the north side, which appears to be entirely from the 19th century, featuring plain chamfer-mullioned windows with sash inserts and a plain boarded entrance door in a beaded surround. The interior is almost entirely from the 19th century. It is believed that Charles II stayed here in 1651.
