Description
The Manor Restaurant is a house that originated in the late 16th century or early 17th century, with extensions made around 1860 and subsequent modernizations. The original section features a timber frame with brick panel infill, which is nogged in the side wall. The Victorian additions are constructed of brick and topped with a Welsh slate roof, while the original part has a roof made of Swithland slate.
The main range consists of two bays and a cross wing, framed in large panels with straight arched bracing. The smaller panels in the gabled cross wing have curved tension braces, and the building features Queen post roof trusses throughout. A doorway on the inner side of the main range is set within a Mannerist Elizabethan style porch, which has banded stone pilasters on a high plinth and a four-centred arched wooden entrance. The inner door also features a four-centred stone archway, with a dormer window positioned above it.
To the left of the door, there are two-light casement windows on each floor and in the gable, which have been renewed. At the rear, there is a large wing built in 1861, which is two storeys high and has three bays. The central bay features an advanced gable that is coped and corbelled out, containing a doorway with a chamfered and recessed archway beneath a wood-decorated corbelled porch. Casement windows are located to the left and above the doorway, each with chamfered brick heads, while there is a blind bay to the right. The building is also adorned with a moulded string course and overhanging eaves.
