Description
Manor Farm Courtyard Farm Range is a rectangular courtyard farm complex built of stone rubble with dressed ashlar or blue brick dressings and deep Welsh slate roofs with overhanging eaves. It is entered from the southeast corner, with former outer tracks leading to entrances facing outwards.
Starting anti-clockwise from the southeast corner, the east range comprises a loosebox stable range that originally faced outwards, but now includes additional inner doors. It features boarded doors and window openings with segmental arched heads and roughly dressed voussoirs. The north range, the tallest section, includes a central barn with a large segmental arched doorway leading to a gabled porch with chamfered ventilation slits. To the east of this barn, on the exterior wall, is a Dutch bay or carriage bay: a six-bay ground-floor arcade, now blocked at one end, built with dressed stone. Above the arcade are square-headed openings with sills under cambered arches, leading to a former granary which is accessible by stone steps adjacent to the stables. There is further loft space to the west of the porch, and cambered-headed openings on each floor to the rear, adjacent to the former rickyard. The ground floor of this north range internally has a long dividing wall, creating further accommodation accessed from the courtyard, with cambered arched heads to some doors and windows, although some later alterations are present. A three-bay range to the west, now without slates and reported as a former dairy, has segmental arched windows and doorways. The cowshed range, to the south, has seven bays and features blue brick segmental arched surrounds to planked doors, and five slit windows along the outside wall. A cistern or slurry tank is situated at the northeast corner, adjacent to the granary steps.
The barn features a cobbled floor in the porch and a flagged interior. It contains a two-storey central threshing bay and dividing walls on both sides. A first-floor doorway is located to the west. The roof is a king post design with tie beams and struts dowelled into the base of the kingposts, along with trenched purlins.
