Description
The King Charles Hotel comprises two distinct buildings, one dating back to the 18th century or earlier, and the other constructed circa 1860-70. The main building is three storeys high, built of rubble with yellow brick dressings, and topped with a hipped slate roof. It features seven windows, paired or grouped in threes, in an Italianate style. The original inn, formerly known as The Crab and Lobster, adjoins the main building to the east. This earlier building is significant as one of the few structures in Ventnor to predate the resort’s development in the 1830s, when the area consisted of only a few cottages, a corn mill, and the inn. It is two storeys high, built of stone rubble with a gable-ended slate roof, and has four windows, two of which are half dormers on the first floor. The windows are fitted with wooden casements. A 19th-century gabled porch has been added.
