Relevant interests of the site (also see assessment form)
Manor Farm (previously called Manoir de St Ouen) was built in the 1870s for Edward Charles Malet de Carteret.
The farmhouse incorporates elements influenced by vernacular design such as an arched doorway with carved heraldic shield and raised stone verges to the roof, combined with late C19 features such as a façade of irregularly placed squared granite and a slate roof with ornamental ridge tiles. There is a garden with boundary walls and gates to the front of the house.
The rear of the house forms one side of a courtyard of rubble granite outbuildings including a carriage house with wide arched doorway, a combination building and pigsties.
Advice received (MRLAG or others)
MRLAG discussed the property at its meeting on 25 February 2008. Members agreed that the farmstead retains its historic character, is of historical and architectural interest and should be added to the Register as a BLI.
JHT recommendation
Manor Farm retains its historic character, is of historical and architectural interest and should be added to the Register as a BLI.
Justification relating to criteria
The registration of Manor Farm as a BLI is in accordance with the published selection criteria that states that, “buildings included in the Register are those which retain their historic form and detail, and so make a significant and positive contribution to the architectural and historical character and appearance of Jersey”.
