Description
The Golden Lion Hotel is likely an 18th-century timber-framed and plastered building, featuring a painted brick ground floor. It underwent alterations in the late 19th century when a second storey was added, along with two extensions, each with one window range, on the south end. The building stands three storeys tall. The original front has a four-window range with double-hung sash windows that have glazing bars in flush cased frames. A stucco cornice separates the first and second storeys, while a brick band runs between the ground and first storeys. The doorway features a wooden Doric doorcase with fluted pilasters and fluted columns in antis, along with a triglyph frieze and a cornice. The roofs are slate. A wing extends at the rear. The Golden Lion Hotel, along with Nos 7, 8, 13, and 15, forms a group with the Town Hall and Post Office.
