Description
The Seven Stars is a public house located at 27 Ship Street in Brighton, dating from around 1900. The building features stucco, or possibly painted terracotta, with granite elements and a tiled roof.
The exterior consists of three storeys over a basement, with dormers and a five-window range. The ground floor has two flat-arched entrances framed by fluted pilaster-brackets and a fluted frieze, with deep overlights also featuring fluted pilasters. These entrances are set back between tapering polished granite antae with Corinthian capitals that support a simple entablature, while the central space has a late 20th-century front.
On the first floor, there are canted oriels on either side, with the principal windows being round-arched and surrounded by a Gibbs surround to the archivolt, flanked by pilasters with ornate capitals. The outer windows are blank, each with a blank keyed oculus above. Between the oriels is a triple round-arched arcade with similar details, and round-arched windows set back to form a balcony, topped with a dentil cornice. The second floor features flat-arched windows in the outer bays, one of which has a moulded transom, along with a cornice and scrolled pediment. The central bay is recessed under a single round arch with a Gibbs surround to the archivolt; this window is flat-arched and tripartite, with one moulded mullion, a scrolled pediment, and a keystone. The central arch is flanked by half-octagonal piers with elaborate corbels that extend to the kneelers of the pedimented gable. At the centre of the gable is a niche containing a griffin holding a shield between pilasters, with another griffin atop the pediment, also holding a shield with a monogram. The building has side stacks.
The interior has not been inspected.
