The Tankerville Arms

The Tankerville Arms is a hotel that dates from the 18th century and early 19th century, with an extension added in 1898. The building features an ashlar facade at the front and random rubble at the rear, topped with Scottish and Welsh slate roofs.

The original structure is L-shaped in plan, with a second span in the re-entrant angle, while the 1898 extension projects to the rear on the right, forming a U-plan. The hotel is two storeys high with attics, consisting of five bays by five, which is slightly irregular.

The east front, originally a five-bay entrance front, has been altered in the 19th century, leading to its irregular appearance. It has a finely moulded cornice and a gabled roof with decorative scrolled kneelers, along with a corniced ridge and end stacks.

The current entrance front features a gabled stone porch to the right, which includes a six-panelled, two-leaf door and a fanlight with intersecting glazing bars. The inner door has a Tudor-arched overlight with intersecting tracery. To the left of the door, on the first floor, there are five original eight-pane sash windows. The ground floor has three original twelve-pane sashes and three inserted twelve-pane sashes. The gabled roof is adorned with four 19th-century dormers.
