Description
The County Hotel is a public house built in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and consists of two and three bays. The main three-bay section includes a blocked central door framed by an architrave, topped with a bracketed dentilled cornice. An inserted window has a projecting stone sill. The ground floor features paired sash windows with bracketed sills, while the first floor has sash windows with late 19th-century glazing bars set in lugged architraves.
To the left, two bays are slightly set back and contain two narrow and one wide ground-floor windows, which have impost strings and keyed segmental arches, as well as bracketed sills and architraves for the first-floor sashes. All ground-floor windows are adorned with stained glass from around 1900. The building also has a first-floor band, an eaves band, and a gutter cornice. The low-pitched roof is complemented by ashlar chimneys that feature plinths and cornices.
