Manor House (or Gobion Manor)

Gobion Manor, also known as Manor House, is a two-storey building constructed from roughly coursed red sandstone rubble, featuring dressed quoins and some red brick dressings. It has a natural slate roof with ridge tiles and stone stacks. The house has a central entry with a stair at the rear and later additions. The main elevation consists of three bays.

In the first bay, there is a likely 19th-century canted bay window with plain sashes and a lead roof, above which is a modern timber three-light casement with an elliptical head. The second bay features a two-storey gabled projecting porch with a four-centred arched chamfered stone entrance, adorned with the modern arms of Gunter above. There is blind walling above the porch, with a chimney at the gable apex, and small windows in the returns light the upper room. The third bay has a wide sash window below and another three-light casement above. The steeply pitched roof has deep eaves and gable stacks, both of which have been rebuilt, along with a small rooflight. The gable returns include small windows for the garret, with one blocked on the right return, and a two-light and three-light casement with a red brick surround on the ground floor of the right return. There is also a modern two-storey outshut to the right, featuring a straight joint, door, and small window. The rear elevation was not observed during the resurvey.

Inside, the manor displays some evidence of timber framing and fine joinery details across both floors. The main ground floor room has closely set beams with deep chamfers and Wern-hir stops, as well as chamfered joists and a large fireplace with an arched stone head. Although the stair has been modified, the upper landing retains a post-and-panel screen and a ceiling with reeded beams and joists, where the reeding elegantly diminishes—a high-quality feature for an upper floor. The other upper floor rooms and attics were not seen during the resurvey.
