Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse located in Heathfield, dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, with later enlargements in the 17th century and a refronting in the early 19th century. The building features roughcast over random rubble and possibly cob, with slate roofs and overhanging eaves that have sprockets on the facade. There are brick stacks at the gable ends and stone on the gable end of the earlier part of the building.

The farmhouse has a plan that consists of three or four cells and a cross passage, lying in an east-west orientation, with the south side refronted by an early 19th-century addition. The south front is two storeys high with three bays on the first floor and one bay on the ground floor. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows flanking a central 12-pane sash window, with a 12-pane sash window in the wing to the right. The ground floor features 24-pane sash windows flanking a blank opening and a 16-pane sash window in the wing, along with louvred shutters on the main block and blind boxes on the outer bays of the first floor. The entrance is located in the right return, featuring a segmental-headed opening leading to a recessed porch with a 12-pane sash window above. The entrance door is a raised and fielded-panelled double door with a rectangular light and marginal glazing bars.

There is a courtyard on the east front containing a pump, and on the south wall of the earlier dwelling, there is a depressed four-centre arched chamfered door frame with a plank door. The interior has not been sighted but is said to contain two framed compartment ceilings. The early 19th-century enlargement likely dates from around 1803 when the property was sold out of the Luttrell estate.
