Hallgarth Manor Hotel

Hallgarth Manor Hotel is a house, now operating as a hotel, dating from the mid-18th century, with substantial alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior is painted render with painted ashlar dressings and a plinth. It has a Welsh slate roof with roll-moulded ridge tiles and painted stone gable copings. The building has an irregular plan. The north elevation, facing the drive, is two storeys high with six bays, the sixth wider, as well as a two-storey, one-bay, and a one-storey, four-bay right-hand extension. A renewed eight-panel door with overlight sits within a doorcase of plain pilasters and a scroll-bracketed pediment in the third bay. The main entrance is now through a 19th-century stone-mullioned canted bay window in the third and fourth bays. Slightly projecting stone sills are present to the renewed 15-pane sashes in the three bays to the left, and to two windows above the bay window. A Venetian stair window in the sixth bay features radial glazing bars. The extensions have renewed doors and windows with glazing bars. The roof has raised end gables and dividing walls, with copings ending in short horizontal sections. There are six gabled dormers with sashes and renewed glazing bars, and a similar dormer in the two-storey extension. Rendered chimneys are on each gable of the main roof, and a tall ridge chimney is on the one-storey extension.

The garden elevation consists of a five-bay main block and a set-back two-bay extension on the right. A central six-panel door is set within a doorcase of plain pilasters and a scroll-bracketed pediment; sashes with glazing bars are also present. There are five gabled roof dormers, and a 20th-century pent conservatory is situated in front of the extension.

Inside, a large hall is located on the garden side, and features panelling above a prominent dado rail. An 18th-century chimney piece, including a pulvinated frieze and lugged panelled overmantel with Greek fret and acanthus decoration, has been relocated from a first-floor room, and it has a dentilled stucco ceiling cornice. A wide, open-well staircase has a grip handrail on column-on-vase balusters with wreath and curtail detailing. The handrail is ramped at the top of each flight and curved from the landing to the second flight; a mitred section is on the first-floor gallery to accommodate a change in floor level. A panelled dado is present in the stairwell.
