Description
Barnaby's Hotel is a house that has been converted into a hotel, with origins dating back to the 16th century or earlier, and it has undergone later alterations and additions. The building features a timber frame and has a red brick front from the 18th century. It is topped with a grey slate hipped roof and has red brick chimney stacks on the right, left, and rear, along with rear wings.
The original structure has a three-window range that projects forward, with single bays on both the right and left sides. It includes a stone parapet and three small paned vertically sliding shutters with gauged brick arches on the first floor, along with a similar window on the ground floor to the left and a 19th-century bay window on the ground floor to the right.
A central porch with a pediment features a dentilled soffit and is supported by plain columns and pilasters with moulded capitals and bases, leading to double six-panelled doors. While most internal features are concealed, heavy flat section ceiling beams and stop-chamfered bridging joists are visible, along with solid arched braces to the ground floor bridging joist. There is a carved three-panel overmantel dated 1641 that includes figures in the panels. The first floor was not inspected during the resurvey but is said to contain part of the exposed timber frame. The building is reputed to have been a Tudor hunting lodge.
