Description
Conock Old Manor is a house built in the late 17th century and in 1753 for Gifford Yerbury. It features English bond brickwork with stone quoins and dressings, topped with a slate roof. The building has two storeys, a cellar, and attics, arranged in an 'L' plan. The main west block has seven window bays, while the rear wing on the left has two bays that contain the kitchen, along with a single-storey service building beyond.
The main elevation has a central half-glazed door framed by a moulded stone architrave and a timber pediment. The windows are 12-pane sashes with moulded stone architraves, except for the central window on the upper floor, which has a round head with raised key and springer stones. The elevation is raised on a stone semi-basement with 2-light chamfered stone windows for the cellars and features a raised parapet. The right gable and rear elevations of the main block have not been remodelled in the mid-18th century and still show stone cross windows in the English bond brickwork.
A six-panelled door with a moulded stone architrave and a stone pediment on simple console brackets is located in the second bay. The kitchen wing has moulded stone drip moulds, although these have been removed from the rear elevation. The north elevation mirrors the west front and is raised on a malmstone plinth, featuring a chamfered stone sill and a plain plat band. This side has five bays, with a central door that has an architrave and a flat stone canopy supported by consoles. The windows have heavy glazing bars. The date 1753 is noted with lozenge motifs in vitrified headers between the upper windows. A major external stack is present on the gable of the kitchen wing, and there are three flat-roofed paned dormers.
Inside, the room in the north-west corner is panelled, and the attic stairs feature late 17th-century balusters.
