Description
Manor Farmhouse is a building in a simple Gothic style, constructed with coursed and snecked rock-faced masonry featuring ashlar dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof with overhanging eaves and ridge and end stacks. The layout consists of two parallel wings connected by a central passage and a front cross wing. The house has two storeys and a cellar.
The main frontage includes a gabled bay on the right that projects forward, with margin-glazed sash windows on each floor featuring Tudor-arched heads. Above, there is a small segmental pointed arched niche. To the left, there is a two-window range with similar windows, one located on the ground floor. The central porch has a steep pitched roof and stone steps leading to a Tudor-arched doorway, with a niche above and a chamfered two-light side window. The front door is elaborately surrounded by two lancets on each side, a trefoil-headed overlight, and decorative spandrels.
The right side elevation has a hipped roof at the rear and features similar sash windows, along with a canted bay that has a pitched roof, overhanging eaves, and segmental pointed lights. The left side elevation mirrors this with similar windows and a bay.
Inside, the farmhouse is partly refurbished but retains some window panelling and shutters, door surrounds, and ceiling mouldings. There is also an extensive cellar.
