Old Manor House

Old Manor House is a house that was later partly used as a post office. It likely dates from the late 17th century, with an early 19th-century addition and mid-19th-century alterations. The building is rendered, probably over cob and stone, and features a gable-ended 20th-century asbestos slate roof for the 17th-century section, along with a 20th-century gable-ended Welsh-slate roof over the early 19th-century addition. There are red brick end stacks for both the 17th-century and 19th-century ranges.

The layout of the house follows a 17th-century three-room and cross passage plan, with the ground falling to the right. The central room, or hall, has an axial stack that is now truncated above the roof at its higher left-hand end. To the left is an inner room with an end stack, while the unheated lower room is to the right. The early 19th-century addition to the left has a higher eaves line. The right-hand end room of the 17th-century range was divided longitudinally when it was converted into a post office, likely in the mid-19th century, at which time a staircase was probably inserted at the rear of this end.

The exterior features a three-window front for the 17th-century range, with mainly late 19th-century and early 20th-century two-light wooden casements. There is a 19th-century four-light former shop window to the right. The doorway is located to the right of the central window and has a 20th-century boarded door. To the left of the former shop window is a 19th-century four-panelled door. The early 19th-century addition to the left has a sixteen-pane glazing bar sash on each floor, which are probably later replacements of the original early 19th-century windows. There is a sealed boarded door to the right. The rear likely has a small-paned 2-light wooden casement from the 18th century to the left.

The interior of the house has only the 17th-century range inspected. The central hall features an open fireplace with a mid to late 19th-century surround and mantelshelf, along with a matchboarded dado. There is an old cupboard on the right-hand wall with old strap hinges, and the jambs of the front window extend down to floor level. The entrance passage has 19th-century matchboarding. The right-hand lower room contains a rough spine beam, while the left-hand ground-floor room has a 19th-century fireplace with a cast-iron grate and tiled reveals. The rest of the interior has not been inspected.
