The Great Northern Public House and adjoining coach house to right

The Great Northern Public House, built as a railway hotel around 1876-78, features a richly detailed Italianate-Renaissance design. It has a conventional three-bay, two-storey elevation made of sandstone "brick" with finely masoned ashlar dressings. The building includes a plinth, rusticated quoins, a frieze, and a moulded eaves cornice. The gable end slate roof is adorned with saddlestones and flanking chimneys that have moulded cornices.

The first-floor windows are framed with moulded architrave surrounds and cambered heads, featuring archivolt arches. The central window has an eared architrave with a faceted keystone. Ground-floor windows consist of coupled arched lights, flanked by pilasters and divided by colonettes with foliate caps, all topped with richly carved garland console keystones. Both floors have consoles supporting moulded sills. The central doorway is flanked by pilasters that support an archivolt arch, which also has an enriched keystone similar to the windows, and is accompanied by pilasters with Composite capitals depicting male and female heads. Above the doorway is an entablature with a dentil cornice.

To the right of the hotel is a two-storey coach house, which features a bracketed eaves cornice and a slate roof. It has four first-floor windows with archivolt arches and a linking impost string.
