Asset of Community Value

Gentleman's country house, now public house and restaurant. 1880-6. Designed by JJ Bradshaw and John Gass of Bolton and Manchester for Herbert and Thomas Thwaites (successive heads of Eden and Thwaites, bleachers); decoration and furnishings by Messrs. Goodall and Co. of Manchester. Tudor Gothic style. To the extreme left, standing well forward and linked to the house by a low corridor containing garden entrance, the single-storey billiards room under hipped room. INTERIOR: well preserved hall with arched recess and pointed arched partition with clustered marble shafts at foot of Imperial stairs with oak turned balusters and carved panels and knotchboard. Similar arcaded partition to landing; lantern with coving and ornamental leaded glazing. Most ground-floor rooms contain good features: notable are the fireplace with de Morgan tiles and wooden surround and overmantel to dining room, the elaborate inglenook to drawing room, the fitted cupboards, coving and overmantel to breakfast room, and the plaster and pitch-pine panelled ceilings; the billiard room (illustrated in Franklin) has a queen post roof supporting a central lantern with decorative painted glazing to side panels, 3-bay marbled arched to dais at north end (originally intended to contain an organ), pine dado, coved recess and Jacobethan fire surround - very elaborate but typical of a well-appointed gentleman's house of this period.

General information about historic pub interiors

Conversion

A Grade II-listed building from the 1880s that is a jaw-dropping conversion of a mill-owner’s mansion to create a large, imposing pub in its own grounds. It was converted into a restaurant in the 1990s but keeping a well-preserved interior. The hall has a staircase and an impressive lantern; a number of ground floor rooms have grand fireplaces and there is a high-ceilinged billiards room. The emphasis is on the Toby Carvery but drinkers are welcome, although there is no real ale.
