Description

Chequer's Hotel consists of four buildings that show the gradual redevelopment of parts of the former Chequer's Inn and the acquisition of nearby properties.

No 6 (east) dates from the late 18th century and has been altered. It is three storeys high with three windows and features a tiled roof and a stucco front. The sash windows are slightly recessed with exposed boxing; the central windows on the second floor are paired and have glazing bars, while the ground floor window is set in a recess. There is a modern carriage entrance at the east end.

No 6 (centre) was built around 1833 and is also three storeys tall. It has a symmetrical five-window facade with a slightly projecting central entrance bay and a hipped slate roof. The stucco exterior includes a cornice and blocking course, with recessed sash windows, some featuring glazing bars. The entrance has been modernized, and a lead rainwater head is inscribed with the year 1833.

No 6 (west) is a mid to late 19th-century addition that is two storeys high with dormers. It has three bays with a fenestration pattern of 2:1:2 and features a slated mansard roof. The stucco facade includes pilasters that rise through the ground and first floors, supporting an entablature with a balustraded parapet above. There is a string course at the first-floor level, three flat-headed dormer sashes, and recessed sash windows with pilasters. The first-floor windows are round-arched with archivolts.

No 8, built in the mid-19th century after 1849, was originally a private house set back from the road. It has three storeys and four windows, with a hipped slate roof and a stucco exterior featuring rusticated block quoins, a cornice, and a blocking course, along with a plain band at the first-floor level. The architraved sash windows have glazing bars and cornices on the first floor, and the former entrance has been replaced by a window. The interiors of Nos 6 and 8 have been altered.
