The Manor Farmhouse And Garden Walls

The Manor Farmhouse and garden walls date primarily to the 17th century, with rebuilding in the west corner recorded by a datestone of 1892. The farmhouse is constructed of slatestone rubble walls, rendered to the entrance front. It has a Burlington Slate roof with brick chimneys over the gable ends of the main part and a half-hipped roof to a wing, along with a lateral brick chimney to the rear. The building is L-shaped, originally single-depth with three rooms plus a wing, and exhibits a lean-to plan. It is two storeys high. The north-east entrance front has two windows, while a wing to the right has one. A projection at the angle between the two parts likely represents an original stair turret, now extended with a lean-to porch over the doorway. The windows are horned sashes with 4 panes; the south-west rear elevation has an irregular arrangement of five windows with 12 and 16 panes. Cambered arches feature above the ground floor openings on both the entrance front and the rear.

Inside, a staircase with splat baluster details and a dog-leg design, dating to around 1700, is present, along with six two-panel doors. One door leads to a first floor room adjoining the wing and features heavy 18th-century ovolo moulded glazing bars and glass within the top panel. Another door in a first floor room of the wing has an ovolo moulded frame. The roof trusses have pegged apexes and collars.

A cement-coped rubble garden wall extends to the north-east, connected to a pyramidal-topped corner post, and a low granite coped wall with wooden dowelled fencing to the south-east. A central dowelled gate with curved bracing is flanked by square piers with cement rustications and curved pyramidal granite caps with ball finials—all likely dating to 1892.
