Description

Sibson House Hotel is a hotel that was originally an inn and farmhouse, built between 1762 and 1764 for the Duke of Bedford. The stone mason was Thomas Thompson and the carpenter was William Bradshaw. The building has undergone early 19th-century extensions and alterations, as well as 20th-century renovations and additions. It is constructed from coursed limestone blocks with freestone and ashlar dressings, and features Collyweston stone slated roofs.

The hotel is two storeys high and has a double pile extension to the north-west, along with rear extensions. It has parapet gables with ashlar end stacks. Flanking the main entrance, which has a boarded door to the left of centre, are two canted bay windows with ovolo moulded mullions and stone slated roofs. To the right of the entrance is a three-light mullioned casement window. On the first floor, there are four recessed casement windows with upper lights that replaced former cross-framed windows. A dovecot is located on the first floor with a framed wooden flight entry. The extension has one ground floor and two first floor wooden casement windows. The inn was recorded as The Wheatsheaf from 1769, and building accounts indicate that materials from a previous structure on the site were reused.
