The Manor

The Manor is a two-storey building with an L-shaped plan, constructed of stone with rendered main elevations. It features a slightly undulating slate roof and stone chimney stacks, two of which date back to the 16th century and have vertical decorative insets on their long sides. There is evidence of a steeper, original gable parapet. The main elevation faces south and presents an asymmetrical five-window garden front, featuring twelve-pane sashes from at least two different periods. The centre has a later deep splayed bay with a balcony parapet decorated in a Jacobethan strapwork style, along with a stilted label above the first floor, which may be re-using an earlier window. To the right, there is a French window. The roughcast main front includes a two-window gable to the right with horned sashes. A central porch made of Ionic Bathstone, with columns and pilasters, has been re-used from a former house in Cowbridge. To the left, there is a 19th-century bay window with small paned sashes and a band course, alongside a sympathetic modern rubble range. At the rear, the east gable may have once had a chimney, and there is a parallel range with a flat-roofed extension, as well as a tall cross range behind the porch.

The building is largely late Georgian in character but incorporates some sub-medieval details on the southeast side. Inside, the entrance hall leads to a staircase supported by a fluted cast-iron column with a foliated capital, featuring a moulded handrail that may be re-used. A simple lantern with a moulded cornice is also present. The panelled doors include some that have been renewed, with those leading to the dining room being Regency style, complete with fluted pilasters and traceried rectangular overlights. This dining room features a dado rail and panelled shutters. The 16th-century section at the rear has a chamfered beam and corbelled stone winding stairs, along with a window opening in the former rear wall of the original building. In the attic, the roof trusses are ceiled at collar level, and the feet have a similar stop-chamfer moulding to the beam found in the kitchen.
