Description

The Lion Hotel is a public house dating from the 16th century, with early 19th-century cladding. It features a timber frame covered with channelled render and has a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high on a plinth, with a moulded plat band. The roof is hipped with a gablet on the left side, and there is a double segmental and pedimented gable on the right. Stacks are located at the right end and clustered to the left. On the first floor, there are three three-light iron casement windows, while the ground floor has three mullioned and transomed three-light iron casements. To the right, there is a half-glazed door topped with a heavy cornice supported by consoles. At the rear, there is a mid-19th-century weatherboarded range with a slate roof, also two storeys high, featuring an external stair on the left side leading to a boarded door on the first floor. This section includes a wood and glass louvred skylight and a rear stack, and it may have originally served as a ballroom. The interior has some visible framing.
