The Manor House

The Manor House is a house likely dating to the 16th century or earlier, with significant remodelling in the 17th century and a 20th-century restoration. It is constructed of slate rubble, with a slate roof featuring gabled ends and a hipped roof to the porch. The axial and gable-end stacks are of stone rubble with slate weathering to the tapered tops.

The original layout probably consisted of a two-room plan in the main front range, with the hall heated by an axial stack. Later alterations included the addition of a two-story, one-room-plan wing and an extension to the high end of the main range, incorporating a cross passage and a two-story porch. A stair turret is located in the rear left corner of the hall, potentially original or added during a 17th-century remodelling when floors were inserted; an alternative theory suggests a different original configuration. A more recent outshut has been added to the rear wing's left side. The partition between the hall and the former left-end room has been removed, and the house underwent extensive restoration recently, during which the floors and roof were rebuilt.

The exterior presents an asymmetrical five-window front. A blind, hipped-roof porch is located right of centre, with a projecting front wall to the right and a single-story outshut to the left end. All windows are late 20th-century, featuring two and three lights, glazing bars, timber lintels, and slate sills. The porch doorway has a 20th-century door. The rear elevation features a projecting wing with a gable-end stack, similar casements, and a 20th-century porch in the angle.

Inside, the hall, former passage, and left-end room are now a single large room. The hall fireplace has a new lintel but retains two ovens, one stone-lined, the other a cloan oven. The ceiling beams in the main range have been replaced. A new stone newel stair rises from the rear of the former hall. The rear wing features a gable-end fireplace with dressed slate jambs, an ovolo-moulded timber lintel with bar stops, and a dressed slate string above the fireplace. The cross beam is chamfered and has stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The first floor and roof structure were not inspected; the roof is reported to have been replaced.
