Description
Le Strange Arms Hotel is a hotel that features an 18th-century front section and a hotel addition from around 1900 to the north. The original 18th-century house is constructed from squared and coursed carstone with a tiled roof, while the 1900 hotel addition is made of carstone with red brick dressings and has a slate roof. The house has two storeys, and the hotel has three storeys with attics.
The house includes two ground floor windows and one tripartite sash window with glazing bars. There are single sash windows under flat carstone arches and a tripartite sash window under a segmental arch with a central keystone. The entrance features an off-centre four-panel raised and fielded door with a rectangular fanlight. On the first floor, there are four sash windows with glazing bars. The building has carstone quoins and kneelers, a parapet with a finial at the north end, and a stack at the south end, along with one off-centre axial stack.
To the south, there is a set-back two-storey wing that has one ground floor and one first floor sash window. The ground floor facade and the south gable are made of squared clunch with brick dressings, suggesting a date of around 1600, featuring brick quoins and a parapet, with carstone on the first floor and a 20th-century concrete tiled roof. The 1900 wing to the north is designed in a classical style and has an H plan. The sea front side has five bays, with a central arched porch that features rustication. The ground floor has four rusticated arched-headed sash windows with glazing bars, while the first floor has four single sash windows and one central tripartite sash window, all with glazing bars.
