Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the late 16th and early 17th century, situated in West Chinnock. Constructed of ham stone ashlar with stone dressings, it has Welsh slate roofs with coped gables; the northern section has a hipped roof. Three very tall, diamond-plan stone chimney stacks topped with ornamental caps are arranged in a line along the south side. The farmhouse follows a "T"-plan, comprising two distinct builds of similar dates.

The two-storey main facade features five bays. Bays 1, 2, and 3 form a slightly earlier, lower section. A full-height buttress with offsets is situated between bays 2 and 3. Bays 4 and 5 are taller and of a grander design, featuring a plinth, string course, and eaves course adorned with Jacobean ornament, with bay 4 gabled. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned; bays 1 and 2 have 2-light windows, with the ground-floor windows sharing a label. The upper window of bay 1 has a repair with an ovolo-mould mullion. Bay 3 features a 4-light leaded window with a label, above a central 3-light window. Bays 4 and 5 have ovolo-mould mullioned windows, with a 5-light window under the string course in the lower bay 5, and 4-light windows to bays 4 and 5 upper. A 3-light window with a label is located in the attic gable. A cambered arched doorway, set within a flat-headed recess with incised spandrels, is found in bay 4. Small, semi-circular windows divided by iron bars are set into the cheeks of the gable dormer.

The interior is said to have been largely gutted by fire, which accounts for the predominantly Regency detailing. However, remnants of the original fabric survive, including a cambered arched doorway at the opposite end of the passage, leading to a rear stair turret which is square in plan and constructed around a central pole with shaped underside treads.
