Old Manor Inn And Garden Walls, Lanton

The Old Manor Inn and Garden Walls in Lanton is an early 18th century building that has been heavily restored, with additions made in 1980-81. It is a symmetrical two-storey, five-bay house featuring later alterations and additions at the rear. The exterior is constructed of harled rubble with chamfered ashlar margins.

On the front elevation, there is a modern panelled door at the center, framed by a moulded and lugged architrave, with windows on either side. The first floor has windows in each bay located under the eaves. The northeast and southwest elevations are gabled and feature an apex stack, with a small attic window to the right of the gablehead.

The northwest rear elevation is irregular with four bays, including three modern dormers with swept roofs and a bipartite window at the center. To the right, there is a projecting single-storey, pitch-roofed modern range, which includes a gable-headed back door to the left, a bipartite window to the right, and an outhouse beyond. The building has 12-pane timber sash and case glazing, new coped harled stacks, and new concrete skews with kneeler skewputts.

The interior was not seen during the 1992 inspection, but records from 1980 indicate that the original plan included a central stair that has survived. The interior finishes are largely from the mid to late 19th century, a period during which the first-floor ceilings were also raised.

The garden walls consist of low rubble boundary walls that extend southeast from the house to the road.
