Manor Farmhouse (Also Known As Eyton Manor Farmhouse)

The Manor Farmhouse, also known as Eyton Manor Farmhouse, is a large, early to late 17th-century timber-framed farmhouse with significant later additions. The main entrance elevation displays a jettied two-storey design, featuring close studding with red-brick herringbone infill and a slate roof. Two later windows are set into original ground-floor openings, while two first-floor openings have been infilled with brick. A projecting, two-storey jettied porch, also timber-framed with brick infill, is centrally located, and contains a first-floor three-light window. The original 17th-century wooden entrance door retains metal strap hinges.

The right-hand return elevation displays two storeys with attics, incorporating a timber frame, brick infill, and a slate roof, punctuated by a massive central brick stack. A projecting, jettied cross-wing showcases a mixture of close studding and diamond framing, along with herringbone brick infill. A first-floor multipaned casement window sits within an original opening, and a small four-pane window illuminates the attic. A later 19th-century red-brick extension, with a slate roof and brick stack, is situated to the far right.

The left-hand return elevation features a projecting jettied cross-wing with a combination of close studding and diamond framing, and herringbone brick infill. It has a multipaned window on the ground floor, a later window on the first floor within an original opening, and a small four-pane attic window. A two-storey lean-to stair tower, timber-framed with brick infill and a slate roof, is also present. A 19th-century brick extension occupies the far left of the rear elevation, alongside a 20th-century corrugated iron porch.

The interior retains two main ground floor rooms with 17th-century-style wooden panelling and later 18th-century corner fireplaces; the dining room hearth is made of Ruabon tiles and the sitting room fireplace has a simple early 18th-century bolection moulded wooden surround and a later hearth. Both rooms feature massive exposed ceiling beams: the dining room’s are stopped and chamfered, while the sitting room's are carved with bevelled details. The main staircase dates to the late 17th or early 18th century and is characterised by bulbous turned balusters, a moulded rail, squared newels, and an oval finial. The former kitchen retains a massive stack, two built-in cupboards, and exposed beams. The house has oak flooring and wooden plank and strap hinge doors throughout. A secondary staircase, in 17th-century character with a moulded rail and square newels with finials, rises through two storeys to the rear of the stack. A room directly over the former kitchen has been subdivided to create a corridor, revealing a massive carved bevelled beam. Brick barrel-vaulted cellars are accessible via a stone winding staircase.
