'A heavy front door leads into an entrance hall, originally probably a through passage. Off the entrance hall is the Great Hall with large open stone fireplace and panelled walls.

'On the first floor, the turret stairs lead to an inner landing and ten bedrooms, five of which have en-suite bathrooms plus a further family bathroom. Off the gatehouse wing and connected on both floors, there is a delightful two bedroom cottage that provides additional accommodation.

'The manor is heaped in history, with multiple moulded cross-beam panelling, numerous granite lintels, granite chamfered arches and following works undertaken in the late 19th Century, large granite mullion windows.'

There is evidence of the house's existence with the name unchanged since 1302 at which time the family of de St Cleather received a coat of arms from Edward I for services rendered during the crusades in Palestine.
