Description
Wroxton Hotel, which includes suites 1, 2, and 3, is a collection of four cottages or houses that have been converted into a hotel. The buildings date from the 17th to the 19th century, with a datestone marking 1736. They are constructed from coursed squared ironstone, with the 19th-century section featuring finely jointed ashlar ironstone. Three parts of the hotel have steeply pitched thatched roofs, while the 19th-century section facing the main road has a steeply pitched slate roof. There are brick ridge stacks on stone bases, as well as stone ridge and end stacks.
The northern part of the hotel is a single-storey structure with a single-unit plan, featuring a 20th-century bow window and door. Attached to this is a two-storey section with a three-unit plan, displaying a four-window range. This section includes a canted bay window on the left and three 3-light wood casements on the right, all adorned with stone flat arches. The first floor has four 3-light wood casements with wrought-iron fasteners and springs, painted wood lintels, and ironstone quoins.
The 19th-century part of the hotel has a two-unit plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range. The entrance on the right features a thatched stone porch, a 20th-century door, and an overlight. To the left is a tripartite sash window with horns, topped with a keyblock stone lintel. The first floor has three sashes with horns. The 19th-century section that runs parallel to the main road has a three-unit plan, is two storeys plus an attic, and has a two-window range. It includes various 20th-century doors, including French doors leading to a first-floor balcony accessed by an external staircase, as well as wood casements and half-dormers.
Suites 1, 2, and 3, which are part of the hotel, date from the late 17th to early 18th century and are made of coursed squared ironstone rubble. They have a steeply pitched roof covered with 20th-century tiles and a brick end stack on a moulded stone base. This section has a two-unit plan with a single-storey extension on the right. The main part is two storeys high with a two-window range. The entrance on the right has a 20th-century door and stone lintel, while a blocked entrance is located to the left. The ground floor features 20th-century metal casements with stone flat arches, and the first floor has a painted wood lintel. The extension includes a two-light wooden fixed window with a wood lintel and a blocked entrance with a wood lintel, along with ironstone quoins.
