Description
The Rose and Crown Hotel is a hall house with crosswings, now functioning as a hotel. It dates back to the 16th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from brick, roughcast, and colorwashed materials, with the original house being timber-framed. It features slate roofs with brick stacks, including one at the left end of the central range ridge and at the gable ends of the extension ranges.
On the exterior, the original building has a single-storey range parallel to the street with a dormer attic. Gabled crosswings flank either side, with the left crosswing featuring a first floor that jetties on arched braces. To the right, there is a two-storey extension consisting of two parallel ranges, with the gable end facing the street. The original building has a doorway beneath a 20th-century gabled hood to the right of the central range. To the left, there is one 4/4 horned sash window on the ground floor and a half dormer above with a 3/3 horned sash. The crosswings have 4/4 horned sash windows on the ground floor and 3/3 horned sashes in the gable attics. Each crosswing has an external wall stack, with the right crosswing's stack being incorporated into the 19th-century extension.
The extension features two windows on both floors of each range, with 6/6 sash windows on the ground floor and 8/8 sash windows on the first floor. The rear of the building includes 19th and 20th-century extensions that are one and two storeys high.
Inside, the south-east corner of the ground floor displays dragon beams running in the south-east and south-west directions, indicating that the 16th-century plan was originally one room deep, with jetties at the front, back, and likely the south sides. The interior contains various boxed bridging beams and many 20th-century timbers, along with replica small-framed panelling in the centre bar.
