Description
The White Lion Inn is an attached house that has been converted into part of a hotel. It was built in 1796 by William Paty and is designed in the late Georgian style. The building features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, party wall stacks, and a pantile mansard roof. It has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall, with an attic and basement, presenting a three-window range. Originally, it was a full-height two-window block with a single-storey section on the left, but it has since been extended to three storeys. The façade includes pilasters leading to a cornice and parapet, a plain doorway on the left, and sash windows with 6/6 panes, while the second floor has 3/3 panes and the ground floor features paired windows. The interior has not been inspected. Notable subsidiary features include good wrought-iron railings and gates attached to the front basement area, decorated with leaf motifs. The building was planned as part of a terrace of 14 houses known as Prince of Wales's Crescent.
