Description
The Former Valaska Restaurant is a building that originally served as a house, office, and restaurant. It dates back to the early 16th century and has been refronted and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is timber-framed with roughcast on a brick plinth and features a plain tiled roof that is hipped to the left, with a cross-wing on the left side. There is a rear stack to the left and a projecting end stack to the right, along with plain bargeboards on the cross-wing. The building has two storeys and an irregular arrangement of windows, including three on the first floor. The ground floor of the cross-wing has a 20th-century shop window with a glazed door to the right, a single window in the centre, and a recessed glazed door to the right set within a gauged segmental arch from the mid-20th century.
Inside, the building retains its timber framing, which is partially exposed, especially in the two-bay cross-wing on the first floor. It features cambered tie-beams that support short queen post trusses, with curved braces in the wall framing.
