Description

Manest Court is a house with an attached barn, featuring unpainted render and a slate roof with close eaves. The house has a long, two-storey east-facing front with three bays, which is offset to the left. The left bay contains a small 6-pane sash window above a larger 6-pane sash window. The center bay has a larger 6-pane sash window above an early 20th-century porch made of stone and red brick, which has 4-pane windows on the front and right sides, with a door on the left side. The broad right bay features a large elongated 6-pane sash window on each floor. There is a lean-to on the right end wall, which has a loft window above it. The lean-to has a whitewashed rubble north wall, two windows, and a door, extending partly across the north side of the northwest crosswing, which has a hipped northwest corner.

The crosswing has a massive 17th-century side-wall chimney with a string course under the stack, divided by sunk lines into five by two shafts. The crosswing has been remodelled in the early 19th century, featuring painted stucco, overhanging eaves, and fretted bargeboards on the west gable. The gable includes a small 9-pane attic window, a large 20th-century 12-pane window on the first floor, and a big ground floor French window with sidelights and top-lights, which have also been renewed. The back of the main range, on the right, is painted stucco with a narrow stair light to the left and a small 6-pane window on the first floor to the right. There is a 20th-century flat-roofed addition at the angle of the crosswing.

To the left of the house is an outbuilding made of cement-washed rubble with a slate roof. This outbuilding features two large pitching-eyes for the loft floor, with stone voussoirs, above five doors that also have stone voussoirs. The right door is flanked by two small square windows, and there is a loft opening under the eaves above, with the loft door located over the extreme left door.

The interior has not been inspected but is said to have been altered in the 19th century.
