B16. Figwort Manor

This ancestral home of the Figworts of Blackapple is distinguished by its multi-level granite construction. Its gray walls are covered with ivy and, unlike many of the other dwellings in Blackapple, its roof is of slate and in good repair. There is a small well and large woodpile behind the property.

The second floor houses the bedrooms of Lord Figwort, Lady Figwort, Arthur, Wylda, as well as a guest room.
