Ardmore Hotel

The Ardmore Hotel is a house that has been converted into a hotel, dating from the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed of stock brick, with the front and left side painted and a stuccoed ground floor. The roof is covered with asbestos tiles and has a hipped left-hand end, with brick gable ends and axial stacks. The building has a wedge-shaped plan, featuring two principal rooms at the front with a central entrance. The left end is narrower and appears to be only one room deep, while the right end is wider and two rooms deep.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a basement, with a symmetrical three-window front where the windows are positioned to the right. The stuccoed ground floor has a band at the first-floor level, flanked by two round-headed 12-pane sash windows with keystones beside a central doorway. This doorway features pilasters, an entablature with a depressed triangular pediment, a rectangular overlight, and a 19th-century six-panel door. On the first floor, there are three 12-pane sashes, and on the second floor, three 9-pane sashes, all with painted gauged brick flat arches. All original sashes retain their glazing bars.

The left-hand end includes a 19th-century French casement on the first floor, with a casement above, and a recessed rounded corner to the left (rear) that has a 19th-century round-headed sash on the ground floor and a sash above, both bowed and with glazing bars. The rear elevation remains largely unaltered, with five original 19th-century sashes with glazing bars still in place, including a tall round-headed sash near the stacks. The interior has not been inspected, but it is expected to contain original features such as the staircase, internal joinery, chimneypieces, and plasterwork.
