Oldaport

This manor house, dating to the 16th and 17th centuries, was modified in the 19th century. It is constructed of granite rubble, with whitewashed end gables and slate roofs, some of which are asbestos cement. The building follows a cross-passage, three-room plan, with later additions and two spiral staircases leading to the back. It is situated across a land slope, with steps rising from left to right, and a break in the roof line to the right of the cross-passage.

The left-hand side of the building, the lower section, has a small fixed 12-pane casement at ground level, below a three-light horizontal bar casement and a two-light small-pane casement. The left return, flanked by buttresses with offsets, contains a two-light casement and a glazed door, with a small two-light window at ground floor, below two 24-pane Yorkshire sash windows. A 16th-century door, set in a chamfered arched wooden frame, is located within a wide porch with a flat, open gable and stone cheeks with slate seats, positioned at the junction between the sections. The right-hand half of the building has two 24-pane and one 16-pane Yorkshire sashes at ground floor, and two 24-pane Yorkshire sashes above; these sashes are of 19th or 20th century date. A stone and brick stack rises from the ridge at the junction, and another from the right gable.

The rear of the building features a 19th-century kitchen under a swept-down roof, with a large, late 19th-century brick stack in the roof slope. A small 18th-century two-light casement, with a door below, is situated on the first floor far left. The upper gable has a 16-pane Yorkshire sash above two smaller casements.

Inside, the slate slab cross-passage has a door leading left and steps down to the former service end, which may have been reduced in size from its original extent. There is an ovolo moulded door surround, and one large, rough transverse beam. The walls are very thick. A 20th-century back door leads to the passage, with the foot of one of the spiral staircases to its left. The main parlour on the right has a fireplace with an extremely deep, rough granite lintel, with rebuilt cheeks having two corbels to support the ends of the lintel. Two chamfered transverse beams and two further ovolo moulded door frames are also present. The upper end room features two spine beams with run-out stops, and a series of rough but deep joists forming a box-like series of compartments. This room contains some painted panelling in the 17th-century style, but the date and origin of the panelling are uncertain. A second spiral stair rises from the main parlour. An end bedroom has very wide elm boards, as well as a wall of heavy box timber framing, and a screen to the stairhead in 17th-century panelling. A middle room now has a partition to create a corridor; from this room is a blocked window to the back. The lowest room has a fireplace with a chamfered bressummer carried on two stone corbels, along with various early doors throughout.
