The Teesdale Hotel

The Teesdale Hotel is a hotel located in Middleton in Teesdale, dating from the late 19th century, with elements from a late 17th-century building incorporated into its structure. It is constructed of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a roof made of graduated green slates with stone coping, while the rear range has a roof of Welsh slates. The building is designed in the Elizabethan vernacular style and consists of two storeys with four bays.

The fourth bay includes an elliptical-headed moulded and chamfered vehicle entrance, while there are two steps leading up to a boarded door framed by a moulded stone Tudor-arched surround in the second bay. The first bay features a two-storey canted bay window topped with a hipped pent roof, which is under a front gable that has a four-light window at its peak. To the right of the door is a high six-light window, with a single light above the door and a three-light window in the two right bays on the first floor. All of these windows have recessed chamfered stone mullions and glazing bars, some of which have been renewed. The building also has a stepped first-floor string and a string below the eaves. A ball-and-pyramid finial adorns the front gable of the first bay, and there are three-light raking dormers in the two right bays. Additionally, there are two corniced ridge chimneys with strings below their cornices.

Inside, the hotel features a late 17th-century staircase with an open well and several windows. The staircase has a high asymmetrical-grip handrail on a boxed-in balustrade, square newels with ball finials and drop pendants, and is set on a closed dentilled and pulvinated entablature string.
