Claverton Private Hotel

Claverton Private Hotel is a villa dating from around 1830 to 1840. It stands three storeys high with a semi-basement and is faced with stucco. The building features flanking pilasters with incised Greek key panels and has a low-pitched hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves and a cornice above the first floor. There are three recessed sash windows, although the glazing bars are missing. The ground floor west window is tripartite, and there is a central enclosed porch with flanking pilasters and an entablature above. A flight of steps leads up to the porch, which has a stuccoed parapet adorned with recumbent lions at the top in front of the pilaster and urns on capped piers at the bottom. The north front, facing the Esplanade, is similar to the Strand front but has a window in place of the porch and features a fine cast iron balcony with an anthemion design on the first floor. Claverton Private Hotel is part of a group that includes Nos 1 to 7 and Nos 9 to 20 on the same street.
