Vernon Arms Hotel And Attached Stables

The Vernon Arms Hotel and attached stables is a public house and stables built in 1671 and the 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with sandstone dressings and features plain tile roofs topped with two large brick ridge stacks. The building has chamfered stone coped gables with ball finials and flush stone quoins. It stands two storeys high, with stables located behind that enclose a courtyard.

The south elevation is symmetrical with nine bays; the central bay is advanced and gabled, flanked by projecting gabled outer bays. A central carriage entrance features a segmental arch supported by rusticated stone piers, moulded imposts, a keystone, and voussoirs. Each side of the entrance has three 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows. On the first floor, there is a central 3-light mullion window flanked by two similar 2-light windows on each side of another 3-light window. The central window has a moulded hoodmould, and in the gable above, there is a sash panel displaying a relief of the Vernon arms. The projecting outer bays have two 2-light mullion windows on the ground floor and a similar 3-light window above, also with a moulded hoodmould. Small slit windows are present in the gables, which also feature ball finials, and between them are two roof dormers with hipped roofs. Above the central arch, there is a 19th-century wrought iron bracket supporting the sign, along with two lamps mounted on cast iron brackets.

The west elevation includes two tiers of 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows and two roof dormers. Behind the main building is a range of 18th-century stables that features a central carriage arch aligned with the street range's carriage arch. The interior contains stud partitions and a staircase with splat balusters.
