2/80 Manor Farmhouse (Previously listed as Manor House) 29.12.66
GV II
House, early C18, with possible earlier fragment incorporated in range of outbuildings to right. Squared and finely coursed ironstone rubble, with white ashlar dressings. New roof. Two storeyed with attics, three bays. Symmetrical facade with central six panelled door beneath small canopy on console brackets. To each side of it, are larger stones like quoins of former opening, but may be purely decorative. Flanking 20-light sash windows. The three upper windows are also 20-light sashes, and all windows are set in a random area of white ashlar. Three gabled dormers in the roof. Gable end stone stacks. Single bay to right of less height is also ironstone rubble but brick to rear on ironstone plinth. It has a single 3-light horizontally sliding sash window with ornately stopped chamfered lintel in its front elevation and in the side a shallow brick arch at ground floor level as relieving arch or cellar light. Rear elevation of main range has outer hipped gables with a 12-light sash window to each floor, the central section filled by a large early C19 canted bay window in ashlar with 12-light sashes. To the north of the house, a projecting wing may be part of an earlier building. Ironstone to ground floor heightened in brick above with new roof but stone coped gable with finial. In its east wall it contains a 3-light horizontally sliding sash window with ornate stop to chamfered lintel and small single light window which may be a fire window beyond which is a steeply brick arched doorway and another small light on its right. Inside a massive inglenook with stone hood on timber bressumer suggests that this building may perhaps have been a former detached kitchen.
