Description
Manor Farmhouse is a manor house that is reputedly dated 1633, with a later addition believed to be from 1687. It is constructed from coursed and squared Ham Hill stone, with some ashlar, dressed quoins, and roofs made of plain tiles and asbestos sheets. The building features coped verges on kneelers and ashlar stacks with moulded caps. It has a "T"-plan and is designed in a late Jacobean style.
The house is divided into two halves. The earlier wing on the right is two storeys tall with an attic, consisting of three bays. It has stone mullion and transom windows with two and five lights; the mullions are distinctive for being of plain half-round section without a centre fillet, and there are moulded strings above the window heads. The later half is of lower height, also two storeys, with three bays. It features two and three-light stone mullioned casements on the first floor, and below these is a single large six-light mullion and transom window.
A central porch with a hipped roof connects the two halves. This porch has two semi-circular headed door openings, both inner and outer, that are similarly decorated with emphasised keystones and a massive studded inner door. Inside, the house contains a well-crafted staircase with a massive square newel post topped by an elaborately carved finial, and the balusters are concealed by plastered 19th-century side panelling. The upper floors have moulded doorcases and four-centred fire surrounds. The building is marked as Cloford House on the Ordnance Survey map.
