Lotus House Restaurant

Lotus House Restaurant, formerly known as the Coffee Tavern, is a building dating from 1710. It is constructed of ironstone with limestone dressings and features stone slate roofs. The structure has a plinth, a first-floor band, moulded stone eaves, coped gables, grouped brick ridge, and single gable stacks. It stands two storeys plus attics and has five bays. The west front showcases a central two-storey hipped stair turret with a cross mullioned casement. To the left, there are similar two- and three-light casements, while to the right, there is a half-glazed door with an overlight, a cross casement, and a blocked door. Above the stair turret, there is a single casement flanked by two cross casements, and above that, two hipped dormers. The north gable features a late 20th-century shopfront with a bow window and a glazed door to its right. Above this, there is a coped datestone inscribed 'J S 1710'.
