Manor Cottage

Manor Cottage is a small house dating from the late 16th century, with a 20th-century extension. It features slatestone rubble walls that are roughly coursed and an asbestos slate roof that is gabled at the left end and hipped to the right. There is a rubble stack with dripcourses and a tapering cap at the left gable end of the main part. The building has an unusual plan consisting of one large room with a fireplace at the left-hand end, and a small unheated wing that runs parallel to it. An early doorway connects the two on the first floor, suggesting they were built at the same time. The quality of the construction indicates that it may have originally been part of a larger house. A 20th-century lean-to has been added in front of the wing.

The exterior is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical front that has one window. On the first floor, there is a 20th-century three-light casement window, and below it, a two-light window set in an opening with a chamfered head. A 20th-century lean-to porch at the centre features a part-glazed door, connecting the house to a small thatched-roof former outbuilding in front.

Inside, the main room has substantial chamfered and unstopped cross beams. A modern fireplace has been set in the earlier opening, with the old wooden lintel still visible above. The doorway beside the fireplace, leading into the wing, has a frame with a slightly cranked head, while upstairs, there is a similar doorway with a peaked head. A wooden winder staircase leads to the upper floor. The roof space was not accessible during the survey, but the timbers may be of interest, although they are not visible from the first floor.
