History
Official heritage record, in French:
Le manoir est attesté en 1536. Le logis, peut-être construit pour les Cadoret dont le blason (illisible) pourrait figurer au-dessus de la porte d'entrée, date de cette époque. Le domaine seigneurial incluait au 16e siècle deux métairies (Petit Saint Mady, Kercahen), un moulin à vent (voir Kercousquet) et un colombier (disparu). Baies de l'étage et lucarnes agrandies aux 17e et 18e siècles. Déclassement précoce en ferme. Le cadran solaire daté 1810 porte l'inscription "Joseph Derrien". Corps de bâtiment est (ancienne étable à chevaux) construit au 19e siècle, à l'emplacement d'un corps de latrines (traces) qui figure sur le cadastre de 1823. Four à pain et grange probablement antérieurs à 1823. L'édifice a été restauré à partir de 1981 (restitution de la partie haute de la tour d'escalier).

Architecture
Architectural description from the regional heritage survey, in French:
Logis à plan partiellement double en profondeur avec appentis postérieur englobant des pièces secondaires et la tour d'escalier. La présence de pignons découverts peut indiquer une ancienne toiture en chaume. Gros-oeuvre en moellon de schiste d'extraction locale, partiellement enduit, à l'exception de l'encadrement des baies, en granite. L'escalier en vis est en pierre entre le rez-de-chaussée et l'étage et en bois entre l'étage et les combles.
