Description
Manor Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with random coursed Ham stone dressings. The roof is covered with triple roll clay tiles and features coped gables, showing evidence of a raised roof, along with brick chimney stacks. The building has an 'E'-plan layout, with a later extension to the south.
The farmhouse has two storeys and a west elevation consisting of five bays. The first and fifth bays are full-height gabled projections, while the third bay features a single-storey gabled porch projection. The gables have plain ends, except for a simple single-light window in the lower part of bay five. The returns and bays two and four include hollow chamfered mullioned windows with four-centre arched lights, with two-light windows above and three-light windows below, all adorned with labels. The porch has a finial over the gable, with a cambered arched outer doorway and a string course above, leading to a plain inner doorway.
The two-storey south extension is built in bonded stonework and includes a garage door in the south gable. There are some 20th-century windows present in the north elevation. The interior has not been seen.
