Description
The Old Manor House is an 18th-century house that incorporates parts of an earlier structure. It was home to the Petit family when permission for a chapel was granted in 1285. The house features carved stone medieval fragments in the garden wall. The walls are made of slatestone rubble, and it has a steep dry Delabole slate roof that is hipped to the left. There is a 20th-century brick chimney over the original external stone breast and another brick chimney over the gable end to the right, as well as a gable end for the mostly 20th-century rear wing. The layout consists of a two-room cross passage plus a rear wing, and the house is two storeys tall.
The nearly symmetrical south front has three windows and was partly rebuilt in the 20th century on the first floor, featuring 20th-century 16-pane sash windows. The central doorway is located within a 20th-century stone porch that has a coped gable end and a doorway with a freestone hoodmould. Inside, there are some reused fragments, but a 16th or 17th-century granite fireplace with straight chamfers and pyramid stops remains in the left room. A cloam oven to the left of the fireplace is a 18th or 19th-century addition. Many reused moulded and carved stones are incorporated into the 20th-century stone garden wall. Excavations for drainage in the 1970s uncovered extensive foundations of the older house.
