Gwarnick Manor

Gwarnick Manor is a farmhouse dating to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is constructed of buff-yellow killas stone, with the front face pebbledashed between smooth rendered quoins. The roof is slate-covered. The house follows a four-room plan with a central through hall, dining and sitting rooms at the front, and a kitchen and service rooms to the rear. A large lean-to structure adjoins the left side, containing an office and additional service rooms. The building features gable stacks, with three flues on the left and two on the right. It is two storeys in height. The main entrance is a six-panelled door set within an early 20th-century glazed porch. Windows are tripartite sash windows with four panes to each section. Brick stacks are present. Below the eaves, a stone carving of an eagle is positioned frontally, accompanied by an inscription reading 'MAN ABOVE ALL THYNG / TEYZE(?) GOD AND Ye KING'. The lettering is in a style and sentiment reminiscent of the 16th to early 17th centuries, but the execution appears to be of 19th-century origin. A rear door has been replaced with a window. The kitchen may incorporate elements of an earlier structure, and fragments of this earlier building survive in the front garden, including a three-centred arched window transome, a window head, and a label stop. The interior has not been closely inspected, and no significant fireplaces were observed.
