The Manor House (Five Occupations)

The Manor House is a detached house, now divided into multiple residences, dating from the 17th century with a later 18th-century extension, and subsequent modifications. It is constructed primarily of ham stone ashlar, with some near-ashlar facing, and has a Welsh slate roof. The east wing has coped gables, while other sections feature hipped roofs behind parapets. Ashlar chimney stacks are present.

The building follows a ‘T’ plan, mostly with three storeys, although the 18th-century wing is two storeys high. The south-east elevation has five bays with irregular window placement. The first bay is a two-storey hip-roofed projection. The windows are hollow-chamfered and mullioned, set within chamfered recesses. The 4-light window in the first bay has a separate label. The second bay has 4-light windows not aligned with the lower floors, with a blank space at the top. The third bay has 6-light windows to the first and second floors. The fourth bay has a 4-light window on the ground floor and a 3-light window with transoms to the first floor. The fifth bay features 6-light windows to the first and second floors, a 3-light window at ground floor level to the left, and an angled bay window from the 19th century to the right, with larger 2-light windows on each face and honeycomb-leading. Otherwise, all windows have rectangular leaded panes with some iron-framed opening lights, and have separate labels. A 20th-century door is located to the left of the second bay, accessed by eight steps and a mezzanine level, with a label. Another similar door, accessed by two steps, is positioned in the third bay. The north gable has two 3-light windows to the first and second floors.

A three-bay west wing extension features a plinth, band course, cornice, parapet, and rusticated quoins. The upper portion of the second bay has a sash window with 12 panes. Other bays have architraved panels that are ‘blind.’ A projecting porch is found in the lower portion of the first bay, with solid ashlar walls and four Tuscan pilasters on the north face, framing a partially glazed door. Above the porch is a plain entablature and a non-classical parapet, likely dating to the early 19th century. A 20th-century French door is located to the left of the porch. The remaining elevations are similar. The interior was not inspected during the listing process.
