Hartford Hall Hotel

Hartford Hall Hotel, originally a manor house, dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century and was remodeled in the early to mid-19th century with later additions and alterations. The building features stuccoed timber framing and brick, topped with a Welsh slate roof that has parallel ridges. It includes two ridge brick chimneys with sawtooth detailing. The plan evolved from a hall and crosswing to a more complex layout of two parallel ranges.

The hotel has a two-storey, five-bay front. The fourth bay features a projecting two-storey gabled porch, which retains some original timberwork on the first floor and gable. To the left, there is a row of three gables adorned with applied timber decoration, a plastered jetty, and two and three-light casement windows with cusped glazing bars in the heads. The right side, which was the former crosswing, has similar windows and a small framed gable. Extensions on all three sides maintain similar window styles.

Inside, entry is through the original porch, which has a Jacobean plaster panel on the ceiling with strapwork in the center. The former hall displays quarter-round moulded ceiling beams and a flattened ogee head on the original rear door. The left gable wall features open timber framing in the bar area. A pine staircase with turned column balusters leads to the upstairs "Nun's Room," which reveals original filled trusses of vertical studs and wind-braced purlins, along with a blocked four-light ovolo-moulded wooden mullioned and transomed window.
