Description
The Manor Hotel is a town house that dates back to 1776 and was built for John Daniell. It is constructed from Ham Stone ashlar and features a Welsh slated hipped roof behind parapets. The two-storey southeast facade is set back from the road and consists of five bays. It includes a central Ionic porch with a complete entablature and pediment, where the attached columns merge into pilasters. There are three steps leading up to a pair of doors with three fielded panels. The windows on both levels are 12-pane sashes in plain openings. The building has unmarked quoins, a plinth, a first-floor band course, and a dentilled cornice beneath a plain parapet.
The return elevations are similar, with the southwest side featuring two blind first-floor windows, one ground floor window converted to French windows, and another window that is blocked. An early 20th-century two-storey extension at the west corner is of little interest. The northeast side also has five bays, with two blind first-floor windows and a centrally located doorway on the ground floor, which has an architrave and entablature that terminates in a shallow flat hood. This doorway is partly blocked and has a window fitted, while the window in the fifth bay has been narrowed. John Daniell was a banker, and the property was originally known as Hendford House. Subsequent owners included John Greenham, who was Portreeve and Town Commissioner, and his son Frederick, who served as Mayor of Yeovil in 1856.
