Monkton Manor

Monkton Manor, formerly known as Lower Monkton Farmhouse, is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It has likely been re-roofed, had its windows changed, and undergone internal alterations in the late 19th to early 20th century. The building is rendered over rubble and features a shallow pitch double Roman tile roof with coped verges and brick stacks at the gabled ends. It is two storeys high with a symmetrical facade divided into three bays. The central porch extends the full height of the building, and all openings, except for the lancet windows, have rusticated jambs and hoodmoulds. On the first floor, there are three-light wooden mullioned windows with glazing bars, and above these are gabled projections flanking the two-storey porch, which contains a two-light mullioned window and a lancet. The ground floor features four-light mullioned windows on either side of a four-centred arch plank door. The interior has not been viewed but is reputed to have been gutted by fire in the late 19th to early 20th century.
