This former farm manager’s house has maintained much of its character through the retention of historic features, including an assortment of timber casement windows, timber panelled door and a fine slate roof. Its fine stone gate piers are in keeping with those of the Lisselan demesne, for which it was built. It forms part of a fascinating group of demesne related structures which includes the main house, gate lodge, entrance gates, glass house, walled garden and outbuildings.
