Description
The Colpitts Hotel is a public house built around 1836. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with a yellow brick chimney. The building has two storeys and four bays. The entrance consists of a four-panelled double door with a fanlight, set under a bracketed keyed arch in the second bay, and is flanked by windows that have four vertical lights over four wooden panels. The windows have Ipswich-type glazing bars, and there is a pulvinated frieze and cornice above two oriels, which have raised fielded panels on their lower parts. The fourth bay contains late 19th-century sash windows with flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. There are stone gutter brackets, and the roof is rounded at the right over the corner. A boot-scraper is located beside the door.
