Description
The Golden Lion Hotel is an inn, likely built in 1839. It features a rubble construction with a rendered front, raised tooled and margined quoins, and dressings. The slate roof has coped gables with kneelers and stone stacks, as well as brick ridge stacks. The building stands three storeys high and has three irregular bays. The central bay contains a doorway that is now blocked, flanked by fluted Doric pilasters supporting an entablature that extends above the renewed shop windows on either side. To the left, there is a six-panel door with an overlight, and to the far left, an altered 16-pane sash window, while to the right is a 20th-century window. The first and second floors each feature a central bay with tripartite sashes under segmental arches, consisting of a central 12-pane section flanked by colonettes, and 16-pane sashes in the end bays. The right return has later openings and a stone inscription that may have been re-set, reading "D A. L. 1839." The rear elevation has a gable set forward with a very tall round-headed stair window that has intersecting glazing bars, along with corniced gable stacks.
