Two-storey section to rear with slate roof and timber sash windows. Cast-iron bootscraper to entrance.
Appraisal
An elegantly proportioned substantial former hotel, which retains its original form and character, together with important salient features and materials. Part of a terrace, this building is an attractive, sophisticated feature in the streetscape, while the early surviving doorcase with cobweb fanlight and carved consoles contribute to the historic character of the piece.
