Nesscliffe Hotel

The Nesscliffe Hotel is an early 19th-century hotel with minor alterations and additions from the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof. The building stands three storeys tall over a basement. It has a plinth with a chamfered stone top, a dentil brick eaves cornice, and parapeted gable ends with rounded stone copings and shaped kneelers. There are external brick end stacks. The façade consists of four plus one bays, with boxed glazing bar sash windows (12- and 16-pane) that have painted stone cills and gauged-brick heads, although some windows lack flat arches. There is a blind second-floor window in the second bay from the left, and the left-hand first-floor bay is blank with remnants of a painted sign.

A central late 19th-century brick porch features a chamfered plinth, moulded-brick corners, a moulded-brick and stone cornice, and a pierced terracotta parapet with coping and panelled square dies. The porch has a scalloped-brick segmental archway with a keystone and segmental-headed side windows. The central half-glazed door is topped by a three-part rectangular overlight and has a moulded frame. Steps lead up to the porch from both the left and right sides, and there is a basement door to the left.

To the right, there is a two-storey wing that is set back, featuring a hipped roof, a glazing bar sash on the first floor, and a 20th-century casement on the ground floor. The right-hand return front has two bays with glazing bar sashes. At the rear, there is a two-storey wing made of red sandstone, which has an integral brick end stack and glazing bar sashes. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the hotel served as a staging post on the Holyhead Road, which was improved by Thomas Telford in the 15 years following 1817.
