Description
The Vine Hotel is an 18th-century hotel that has undergone later alterations. It features a stuccoed brick exterior and a tile roof with stucco stacks, arranged in a double-depth plan. The building is three storeys high and has a six-window range, with a two-storey, three-window wing that projects to the left. The façade includes gabled forward breaks, one at the left end and another to the left of the right end windows, topped with a cornice.
The central entrance is covered by a canopy and has paired three-panel doors. There is a later entrance to the left of the right end window and a carriage entry to the left end, which features paired gates with spiked cresting. On the ground floor, there are two canted bay windows with colonnettes, featuring 4:16:4-pane sashes and flat canopies. A similar bay window has 12:24:12-pane sashes, while a low window to the left of the entrance has a 3:9:3-pane tripartite sash. The right end has a later small-paned bow window. The first floor has two windows with 4:12:4-pane tripartite sashes flanking an oriel window with 8:12:8-pane sashes and a flat canopy on a bracketed panelled base. The forward breaks and right end have 16-pane sashes. The second floor features three windows with 3:9:3-pane tripartite sashes, with the forward breaks having windows with 4/8-pane sashes and the right end window having an 8-paned horned sash.
The wing to the left has a brick modillioned cornice and early 20th-century shopfronts with a carriage entrance to the left. The first floor has 20th-century small-paned top-hung casements. The rear of the building has varied gabled wings. Inside, there is exposed timber-framing, some of which is likely original while some was inserted in the late 20th century. The interior also features a winding stair and a closed well stair.
