Brompton House Hotel

Brompton House Hotel is an early 18th-century house, originally a vicarage, that has been altered and extended over the centuries. The central part of the building is a three-storey house with a five-window front. It is constructed of coursed squared Bath limestone, and the earliest section was probably once rendered. The ground floor features a glazed door with a rectangular window above, flanked by paired twelve-pane sashes in dressed stone surrounds with a central mullion. The first floor has a sill band supporting single windows flanked by paired ones, with the second floor mirroring this design. Pilasters mark the ends of the facade. A parapet tops the building, concealing most of the pantile roof, with end stacks of ashlar. Extensions to the left are of similar character, featuring twelve-pane sashes and, further left, Victorian two-pane sashes. A further extension on the right, added around 1873, is two storeys with triple four-pane Victorian sash windows and a gable front, topped by a ridge stack with Gothic moulding. The rear elevation is plainer and has been altered. The interior of the building has not been inspected. The house was formerly the rectory and was bought in 1873, refurbished, enlarged, and gifted to the parish by Miss Hamilton, daughter of the late Rev. J.R. Hamilton, who had built the adjacent church in 1861.
