Description
Manor Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with extensions added in the late 17th century. It is constructed of roughly cut and squared ham stone with ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with high stepped coped gables, indicating a former thatched roof. Brick chimney stacks are at the ends of the building. The west elevation has four bays, and features strings to window-head levels. The windows are ovolo-mould mullioned, with three lights on the first floor and four lights on the ground floor to the outer bays, and two lights in the third bay. A projecting, gabled porch is situated in the second bay, with coping and a ball finial. It has a three-light window above and a segmental archway containing a boarded door within a heavy frame. Further mullioned windows are present in the south gable, one to each level, where the string mouldings continue. 19th-century windows are found in the gable, alongside a small 19th-century extension to the rear, north-east corner. The interior is reported to retain an original L-shaped plan from the early 17th century, with later 17th-century remodelling, alongside the addition of the porch and a room above.
