Canted-bay window to ground floor of façade with moulded cornice, and segmental-headed window openings to ground floor of return elevation, having replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed windows elsewhere with mainly one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Segmental-headed main door opening having moulded render surround and timber panelled door with overlight.

Former windows to south end of façade broken out to door openings, with moulded render surrounds and having replacement timber doors with overlights.
Appraisal
This former hotel was built at an angle to accommodate its corner site. It retains many original features, such as timber sash windows and panelled doors, and is enhanced by the moulded opening surrounds and particularly by its unusual decorative render quoins.
