Description
This is a house, now a restaurant, dating back to around 1700, with an early 19th century extension and later 19th and 20th century alterations. The front is of stuccoed brick with chamfered quoins and a timber shopfront; the rear is of orange-brown brick in English garden-wall bond. The roof is covered in pantiles, hipped at the front, with a tumbled brick gable at the rear, and features brick stacks. Timber guttering is supported by paired modillions. The extension is built of red-brown brick in English garden-wall bond, with a tiled and pantiled roof and brick stacks.
The front facade is three stories high with three windows. The shopfront has a recessed entrance flanked by plate glass windows. The first floor features a three-light canted oriel window with a moulded cornice, set between single-pane sash windows within eared architraves and sills. The second floor has similar windows framing a blank moulded plaster panel, originally intended for an inn sign. A similar full-width moulded panel sits below the second-floor windows. The rear of the building has original openings, mostly blocked and set beneath three-centred arches of brick, with two raised brick bands marking the second floor and attic levels.
The extension is two stories high, with a single 12-pane sash window on the first floor, featuring a tooled lintel. A shared wall with the adjacent properties numbered 91 and 93 also incorporates a similar window with a segmental brick arch and two-course raised brick band.
Inside, the front room on the first floor is fully panelled with bolection mouldings. A quarter-turn staircase leads to the attic, featuring a moulded close string, bulbous balusters, square newels with attached half balusters, and a heavy moulded handrail. A rear room on the second floor retains a bolection-moulded doorway with a three-panel door on L-hinges, and an original fireplace with a moulded mantelshelf. The extension's staircase is cantilevered, with grooved stick balusters and a serpentine moulded handrail that is wreathed at the foot around a turned newel on a shaped curtail step.
Historically, the building operated as Baynes' Hotel between 1813 and 1826, Tomlinson's Hotel until 1839, Jackson's Hotel until 1852, and The Grapes Inn until 1882, when it became known as the Londesbro Arms.
