The Scotgate Public House

The Scotgate Public House is a late 18th-century building, likely constructed from terracotta supplied by Blashfield’s Works. It is two storeys high, with a red terracotta facade and a blue plinth topped with stone capping. Stone dressings are present, along with vermiculated rusticated quoins. A moulded cornice featuring modillions and spandrels runs along the top, surmounted by a parapet with panels at the quoins supporting carved urns. Below the urns is the inscription "P & R Phipps, Brewers", accompanied by a crest depicting a castle with lion supporters and a motto. A moulded string courses above the first-floor windows.

The facade incorporates three bays of double round-headed carved arches, separated by carved colonnettes. The ground floor windows have vermiculated rustication to the heads, a keystone, and splayed cills. The doorway is heavily rusticated, with a reveal featuring chamfering. The door consists of eight fielded panels, with a blocked fanlight above. A head of Hermes appears on the keystone. A scraper is set into the plinth. To the right of the doorway is a carriage door within a vermiculated rusticated arch, featuring a monogram on the keystone. The side elevation is of brick and rendered construction.

The building forms a group with the adjacent property at No. 4.
