Hotel. Early C18 extended in C19. Stone rubble walls, whitewashed to right-hand half, rendered to left-hand half. Gable-ended slate roof with stone coping at right-hand gable-end. 2 brick axial stacks. Plan: the original building comprises the right-hand half of what now stands. Built as merchant's house with adjoining malthouse, stables and stores. The building was divided into 3 sections by 2 massive internal walls. The southern part contained the malthouse, stables and stores, with a hayloft on the floor above which had access to the higher road at the rear. A third floor in the roof space was used as a poultry house early in the C20. The large malthouse chimney ran up the inside of the end wall. The central and northern sections were also of 3 storeys and in the top floor was the granary. At one stage the ground floor of the central section was a bank. The northern part of the building was the merchant's house. Converted to hotel in the late C19 which was probably when the building was extended.
Exterior: 3 storeys. Long asymmetrical 5:8 window front, the original building to the right with a flat brick string above the ground floor.
