Haighton Manor

Haighton Manor, formerly known as Haighton House, is a small manor house that has been converted into a restaurant. It is believed to date back to 1657 and has undergone alterations. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and features a slate roof with stone gable copings at the front. It has an E-plan layout, consisting of a 3-bay hall range with a central porch and projecting wings. The manor is two and two-and-a-half storeys tall, presenting a symmetrical facade with three gables.

The facade includes a chamfered plinth and a continuous drip-course that runs around the entire structure. The two-storey gabled porch has an outer doorway with a large lintel that is undercut to form a simplified Tudor arch. There is a rectangular panel in the face of the porch, which is now blank, and a similarly shaped inner doorway. A small peep-window is located in the left side wall, along with a 4-light double-chamfered stone mullion window at the first floor, and similar 3-light windows on each side, both of which are blocked. A drip-band runs over all these features.

To the left and right of the porch, as well as in the gable of the right wing, are similar mullioned windows. The left side has three lights on each floor, with the lower window lengthened and altered. The right side features five lights at the ground floor and six above, while the wing has five lights on each floor with a blocked 3-light attic window above. The upper windows have hoodmoulds. The right return wall of the right wing has a large external chimney stack with altered openings.

The gable of the left wing has an inserted doorway with a rectangular fanlight near the right side, a 12-pane sash window above it, and a Venetian window on each floor, all with glazing bars and keystones. There is also a blocked round-headed attic window. The left return wall has a small 2-light window on each floor. The rear of the building has modern additions. In the angles of the wings, there are rainwater heads inscribed with the letters H M 1772.

The interior has been significantly altered, but it retains pitch-pine chamfered beams with run-out stops, which are supported by stone corbels and may imitate the original design.
