Description
New Manor Farm House is a detached house dated 1877, built from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings. It features a Welsh slate roof between stepped coped gables and stone end chimney stacks. The design is in a 15th-century style with French details. The house has two storeys with an attic and consists of five bays. The windows are hollow chamfer mullioned with three lights under square labels, except for bay three, which has a pointed segmental-arched moulded doorway under a square label with foliated spandrils. Above this doorway is a timberwork and plaster panelled oriel window topped with a French-style hipped turret roof, which is mirrored by a similar turret at the rear. There are dormer windows with slated roofs and ornamental tiled cheeks on all but the centre bay.
On the north gable, there is a matching single-storey extension that features a less elaborate doorway to the left and a matching window to the right, with a dormer above. Further north, there is an outbuilding with a pantiled roof that has a datestone set in a blocked window opening. Although the interior was not seen, the setting of the house is enhanced by a front boundary wall made of random coursed lias stone with Ham stone coping. This wall is topped with cast iron twist rails and twist standards that have ball finials. There is a central matching gate with Ham stone panelled piers that have gabletted tops, all contributing to the overall character of the property.
