Description
Polsue Manor is a farmhouse that dates back to the 17th century or earlier. It is constructed of painted shale rubble and features a Delabole slate roof. The building has a brick chimney over an external stone breast on the east gable and a stone rubble stack with a tapered top stage on the west gable. Originally designed with a three-room plan, it has been altered to a double-depth layout, likely due to a 19th-century addition at the back.
The manor has two storeys and a four-window north front. On the ground floor, there are two wide windows that now have 20th-century casements, although they probably originally contained mullions, similar to the one found to the right of the gable-roofed entrance porch. This granite-framed window features a hood mould and was originally a three-light window, but the mullions have been removed. The three first-floor windows have sixteen-paned sash designs, while the window to the right is a two-light, two-paned casement. A change in the walling surface suggests some rebuilding further to the right. It is said that there was a charred oak lintel over the fireplace at the west end.
The single-storey flanking wings at the front may contain earlier work and are connected to a coped rubble wall that encloses the courtyard. The interior has not been inspected.
