Hotel. Late C18 or early C19. Rendered, slate roof. A
symmetrical central stair hall plan, set on a high plinth
storey to the road at basement level.
2 storeys, attic and basement; 3-window range. 2-light
small-pane casement flat-roofed dormers with slate cheeks,
above 12-pane sashes in plain reveals. At the ground floor are
canted 4:12:4-pane sash bays with hipped slate roofs with a
central hipped porch on solid cheeks over part-glazed C19
doors to a radial fanlight. Deep brick stack to the right.
The building formerly incorporated the projecting gabled bay
to the adjoining No.24 (not included), and the terrace extends
across this bay. The rear includes a 2-light small-pane
casement to the staircase, and has a flat-roofed extension.
INTERIOR: most of the original panelled doors, previously
painted, survive. There are some moulded cornices, and C19
fireplaces to each of the ground-floor front rooms; that to
the right has a reeded surround with tiles, and to the left is
in painted slate, with Art Nouveau tiles. The dogleg stair has
a stick balustrade to swept handrail and turned newels. There
is a second, service staircase, a spiral with slate treads.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: across the front is a plain rubble
retaining wall, with a large garage opening to the left. The
wall ramps down to the right to contain a flight of 2+11 steps
with slate treads; a continous railing of cast-iron with
spearheads runs across the front and as balustrade to the
steps; at the bottom is a small contemporary iron gate.
This is possibly the earliest of a row of hotels here,
retaining more original detail than most.
