Manor House

This manor house, now a house, was originally constructed around 1580 for the Yate family. It was substantially altered around 1757 by Sir Robert Throckmorton, who converted it into Gothic-style stables for Buckland House. The building is constructed of squared and coursed limestone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. It has a double-pile plan reflecting the alterations of around 1757.

The main elevation is of two storeys and nine bays, with polygonal corner turrets. A crenellated parapet rises over the central three projecting bays, featuring a pointed arch with two orders of engaged columns supporting a high central arch, where C20 double doors and overlights are set within a flat-headed, moulded architrave. Doorways in the second, sixth, and eighth bays have roll-moulded pointed arches, each containing late 19th-century stable doors with Y-tracery overlights. Pointed arches frame the two-light, Y-tracery Gothic windows; quatrefoil windows are located on the first floor, flanking the central archway. A moulded plinth and string course are present, along with a trefoil-headed and corbelled frieze to the moulded cornice, topped by a crenellated parapet. The polygonal corner towers feature similar Gothic windows, with the front-facing windows retaining diamond-shaped leaded panes. Blind side windows have painted imitation latticing, and the third storey of each tower has quatrefoil windows surmounted by a similar cornice and parapet as the main range. Mid-18th century rainwater goods are visible. The roof is gabled with internal stacks, as well as gable and ridge stacks to the rear.

The right side wall contains a five-window range of late 16th-century two-light stone mullioned and chamfered windows. There is also a mid-18th-century Gothic-style two-light window with leaded lights and two leaded quatrefoil lights at the top, and a late 19th-century stable door set within a mid-18th century chamfered stone architrave with two overlights. The left side wall has scattered fenestration including 4 similar late 16th-century windows, two of which have been blocked, a mid-18th-century Gothic-style two-light window, and a mid-18th-century six-panelled door flanked by two similar late 16th-century one-light windows. Parapets run from the top of the polygonal corner towers towards the rear, where the walls are gabled. The rear elevation features an Elizabethan 12-light canted bay window of stone mullioned and transomed and ovolo-moulded lights, flanked by similar two-light windows. To the left and right of this bay are mid-18th-century Gothic windows, some of which have been blocked.
