Description
The Seaton Hotel and its west extension, built around 1792, is a hotel constructed from painted dressed limestone with Westmorland slate roofs. The building has two storeys on the left and two and a half on the right, featuring four bays. The second bay projects slightly and is topped with a shallow gable. It includes a flat-roofed porch from around 1900, which has an entablature, panelled clasping, and doorway pilasters, along with a mid-20th century door beneath a fanlight.
The first bay has an early 20th-century leaded-light mullioned-and-transomed window beneath a Venetian window with late 19th-century sashes and impost bands. The ground floor of the third and fourth bays features c.1900 bay windows, with first-floor sashes above that have glazing bars. There is also an early 20th-century leaded-light stair window above the porch. The attic of bays two, three, and four has sash windows with glazing bars, as well as gabled half-dormers in bays three and four.
On the left-hand return, there is a central two-storey convex-plan quadripartite bay window, flanked by Venetian first-floor windows, all featuring late 19th-century sashes and impost bands. The ground floor has early 20th-century leaded-light glazing. The building has chamfered quoins at the corners, string bands between the floors, and sills for all windows. The hipped roof is topped with two rendered ridge stacks.
At the rear, there is a three-storey wing that shares a similar character. The slightly later and lower west extension is roughcast, consisting of two storeys and two bays, with a c.1900 door and window on the left and a three-centred carriage arch on the right. The first floor has sash windows with glazing bars and gabled roof dormers. An early 20th-century rear extension is noted but is not of interest.
