Description
The Seaforth Arms Hotel is a public house, likely dating from around 1900 to 1914, and subject to some later alteration. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar at ground floor with a polished brown granite plinth, Accrington brick at first floor with red sandstone dressings, and a graduated green slate roof. The architectural style is Edwardian Baroque.
The building's plan comprises a double-depth main range parallel to the street, offset to the left by a short but wide gabled wing, and a canted porch in the angle between them. The exterior displays a boldly articulated design with channelled rustication at ground floor, a plain frieze, a prominent moulded cornice over the ground floor, a moulded first-floor sillband, a plain frieze and moulded cornice over the upper floor, a stone parapet, an open pedimental gable to the second bay, and a wrought-iron balustrade with a pilastered turret over the porch.
The porch features a round-headed doorway with a triple keystone and stained glass fanlight. Above the doorway sits a large cartouche bearing the monogram "TBCoLtd", framed by Ionic colonnettes with Gibbsian blocks and an open pediment. Pairs of similar colonnettes also frame a cross-window at first floor, with a Gibbsian architrave. The range to the left has two bowed tripartite windows at ground floor, enriched pilasters framing a large semi-circular monogrammed plaque in the first bay, a tripartite window in the second bay with Gibbsian mullions, and a carved cartouche in the pediment above. The range to the right of the porch has a doorway and a tripartite window at ground floor, and a transomed one-light window above with a Gibbsian surround. The right-hand return wall, including a broad pedimented gable and a short rear wing, is also in a similar style, notable for a large round-headed doorway at ground floor, a four-light window above, and a three-light attic window in the gable with an elaborate consoled architrave including a triple keystone. Two ridge chimneys have prominent stone cornices.
Inside, the east and north internal porches have glazed tiles in an Art Nouveau style, along with a similar glazed tile dado. A cross-corner fireplace is of white glazed tiles in a Classical style. The panelled bar features glazed screens, and some former internal partitions in the main range have been removed.
