Description
Manor Farmhouse is an inn that has been converted into a house, dating from the 17th century. It is marked on the Ordnance Survey map as the Queens Head Inn. The building features random rubble construction with double Roman and triple Roman tile roofs, and has coped verges along with three brick ridge stacks. It is designed in an L-shape and has two storeys.
The main elevation facing the road has a single bay under a gable, with a base for a finial at the apex. On the ground floor, there is a four-light bead-moulded stone mullioned window with a cornice dripmould, and a similar three-light window on the first floor, where the center light has an iron casement with a decorative iron quadrant. To the right of the main elevation, there is a door opening in a massive block surround, also featuring a cornice dripmould, leading to a recessed 20th-century glazed door.
On the ground floor to the right, there is a two-light wooden-mullioned window supported by iron stanchions, and on the first floor, a late 19th-century four-pane casement window. There is an attached single bay wing set back to the right, which has a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and a 19th-century three-light casement window with leaded lights on the first floor. This wing includes two door openings: one with 20th-century French windows on the ground floor and a plank door to the left of the first floor, accessed by a flight of 12 stone steps with a wrought-iron handrail.
