Description
Forest House Hotel is an early 18th-century house that has been converted into a hotel. It is built of brick, which is rendered and colourwashed, and features a hipped plain tile roof. The building has ashlar quoins, a brick plinth, a first-floor band, rebated eaves, and two coped gables with kneelers. The roof includes single gable and ridge stacks.
The hotel is two storeys high and consists of five bays in an L-plan layout. The windows are plain and consist of glazing bar sashes with keystoned rubbed brick heads. On the south front, there is a 20th-century door with an overlight to the left, flanked by one sash on the left and three sashes on the right. Above this, there is a dummy window flanked by one sash on the left and three sashes on the right.
The east front features a blocked opening to the left and two sashes to the right, which are flanked by single 20th-century doors. Above, there are two blocked openings to the left and one sash along with two 20th-century casements to the right. The west gable has a sash on each floor and a 20th-century casement above. To the left of this gable, there are two 20th-century gabled single-bay two-storey additions.
