Description
The Cambridge Hotel is a house that has been converted into a hotel, built in 1865. It features yellow brick on a red brick plinth, with red brick cill bands and wooden eaves mouldings beneath a hipped slate roof. The building has two storeys, with a hipped roof projecting bay on the left end. There are six round arched sash windows on the first floor, which have moulded imposts and brick keystones. The ground floor has cambered head windows, including a tripartite sash window on the left. To the right of centre, there are 20th-century glazed double doors in a glazed wood porch with a flat roof, and a blue sign fascia on the left-hand return front. An angle bay window is located to the left.
The hotel is primarily listed for its historical significance, as it was once occupied by George, the 2nd Duke of Cambridge, who was the grandson of George III and served as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army from 1856 to 1895, along with his morganatic wife Louisa Fairbrother, Mrs. Fitzgeorge, until her death in 1890.
