This section of the road serves as a western bypass of Manchester, with no businesses and fairly limited crossings, and also serves as part of a route between NH 114A (the original Route 114), Interstate 93 and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

Upon entering Weare, NH 114 changes its name to South Stark Highway, and passes by the north end of Daniels Lake.

In Henniker, NH 114 changes its name to Weare Road and travels northwestward through a rural area of the town.

NH 114 turns here from a northeasterly alignment to due north and enters the town of Sutton.

The main north–south road through Sutton, NH 114 passes by the northern end of Blaisdell Lake, crosses and then follows the northern bank of the Lane River, past the village of Sutton Mills, which has the Town Hall and acts as the main village of the town.

It next enters the village of North Sutton, passing by Wadleigh State Park and Kezar Lake.

Before this time, the route originally had its southern terminus with NH 101 at the intersections of Bridge Street and Candia Road in the eastern part of Manchester.

Most of the route north of Bradford was eventually bypassed by Interstate 89, which it roughly follows between exits 10 and 13 near its northern terminus in Grantham.

The exact site is located near the town's Southern Fire Station just south of the junction with NH 77 and is marked by a millstone with a plaque denoting the event.

The highway connects downtown Manchester with Goffstown and forms the main thoroughfare through the village of Pinardville on the Goffstown/Manchester line..
