Manor Farmhouse and Manor Cottage, Portskewett, Monmouthshire is a country house dating from early 17th century. The house is a Grade II* listed building.
Cadw and the architectural historian John Newman disagree as to the building date for the house; Cadw considers it early 17th century, [1] while Newman puts it a little earlier, in the 16th century. [2] At some point the original, single, dwelling, was divided into two, Manor Farmhouse being the major portion, and Manor Cottage the minor part. [3] The whole building is listed Grade II*, its listing entry describing it as "a well preserved house which retains a number of good historic features". [1]
The house is of two storeys [2] and rendered, some of the render being original to the building. The roof is of Welsh slate. [1] Newman notes the mid-17th century plasterwork including a "handsome ceiling" in the parlour with "unusually lavish moulding". [2]
