Formerly a rectory, The Manor House, St David's Street, was originally a timber framed building of the late 16th or early 17th century. The house was enlarged in the 18th century and rebuilt and refronted circa 1840 for use as The Rectory. Constructed, in a Classical style, of rubble stone with ashlar dressings under a slate roof. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=8912 Presteigne is a market town, set on the south bank of the River Lugg, some 19 miles northwest of Hereford and 16 miles east of Llandrindod Wells. The Welsh/English border wraps around three sides of the town, which probably began as a small settlement around a Minster church. Formerly the county town of the historic county of Radnorshire, it remains quiet, picturesque and unspoilt.
