Description

The Cavendish Hotel, formerly known as the Brandon Mansions Hotel, is a terrace of houses built in 1844 by Farrants & Turrell, located on Marine Parade in Great Yarmouth. The building has been converted into a hotel and features a stuccoed brick exterior with roofs made of slate and concrete tiles.

The south front has a fourteen-window range, with the central ten windows spanning three storeys and a dormer attic, while the two side sections are four storeys tall and slightly project forward. The ground floor is rusticated and fitted with sash windows, most of which have lost their central glazing bars. The end windows on all four floors are tripartite. There are two hotel entrances, and a cast-iron balcony runs along the first floor, with French doors beneath stuccoed patches that indicate the former presence of pediments. A platband is present at the second floor, where the sash windows have six/six glazing bars. A former cornice is only partially visible above the western two bays. The mansard roof features ten flat-topped dormers, all fitted with 20th-century casements, and hipped roofs over the end pavilions. There are four transverse stacks and one stack at each end pavilion. The western four bays have a cast-iron balcony on the ground and first floors beneath a bowed canopy. The east return consists of five bays, with the ground floor altered in the 20th century to include external staircases and plate-glass windows, while the upper windows match those on the south front.

The interior has not been inspected.
