The Landsdown Public House

The Lansdown Public House is a building that originally served as a house and hotel, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and roughcast, featuring gable stacks and a double-depth plan with pantiles. The building stands three storeys high, with a basement and attic, and has a three-window range. The ground floor is rusticated and features a plat band, a fluted cornice, a parapet, and coped gables. The left-hand doorway has imposts and a keyed semicircular arch, topped with a bracketed pediment that frames an interlacing fanlight and a six-panel door. The ground-floor windows are of 20th-century design with keyed heads, while the upper floors have 6/6-pane sash windows, with wrought-iron basket balconies on the first floor and casement dormers in the attic. The left return has a three-window range, all blind except for the right-hand first-floor window, and there is a segmental-arched opening for the cellar. Inside, the entrance hall features a semicircular arch leading to a rear open dogleg stair, which has column-on-vase balusters, a ramped rail, and a curtail, as well as an open-well attic stair. The attic doors are two-panel, while the doors below are six-panel. The first-floor rooms are connected by a semicircular arch and include a late 18th-century fire surround. The stables from the earlier coaching inn are still present to the right, although they have been much altered and are not included in the listing.
