Most often, dyers would have lived in villages on the manors, however they were placed. Most manors had hamlets or villages on them, and it was in these that most laboring people lived. Dyers had special needs for water, and this would have influenced where their homes were placed, but nearly all the villages on estates had water access nearby.
It provided a home and jobs for them.

The building known as Treneere Manor is not medieval, although it may stand on the site of a former medieval manor house. Treneere is not listed in Domesday Book, so it was not even a village at that time. In fact Treneere Manor was not built until the 18th century. In 1913 Treneere Manor was home to a Mr Polglase, who sold some of his land to be developed as a Girl's Grammar School. Until the 1930s the owners of Treneere Manor were the biggest landholders in the area; it was effectively part of the wider lands of Alverton Manor (which does have medieval history).
The manor's house is apart from everything and the village. They have a big home. The people who owned were those who were at or near the top of the feudal system. For the lord and his family they lived comfortable.
A manor is the basic unit of feudal land holding in the later middle ages. It was comprised of one or more villages and their farmland, and included a manor house complex that would have been the home of the lord of the major, or his steward if he was not in residence, as well as the center of the lord's agricultural activities on the manor. The manor complex, although often surrounded by a hedge, fence, mound, or wall, was of minimal military value in repelling an organized force. A castle by comparison was a major military fortification, would have had very substantial walls, and would have a substantial garrison of knights and common soldiers. It also could serve as the home of a great feudal lord. Castles were held only by the very highest levels of medieval society, and were relatively few in number. Manors were much more common, with a manor complex being present in all but the smallest villages.
These are not easy to find because no one wanted to preserve such things. There are a couple links below, however.
The lord and lady of the area lived in a Manor. A manor was like a stately home with servants and often a hunting ground for the lord. A king would not live in a manor but in a castle ,though, Charles the 1st who was being hunted down to be executed was forced to. a Manor would have all the rooms a castle would have but smaller so this was a good way off for the lord and lady.
The manor house was the home of the lord of the manor. Peasant children did not get much opportunity to go into the manor house.
The medieval manor was a home to some lord, who might have lived there. It was also home to whatever servants and permanent guests the lord might have had there. The servants might have included a steward and household servants, and some of these might have lived in the manor house itself. Also on the manor were a number of people who were laborers, and these would have included tenant farmers and serfs, along with anyone else who might do labor, such as a miller, for example.
