The Great Western Hotel

The Great Western Hotel is a hotel, originally a restaurant at the time of listing, built around 1870, altered in 1876, and extended to the left in 1896. It is constructed of painted brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. The original building is designed in the Gothic revival style and consists of two storeys and a cellar, arranged in three symmetrical bays with a central entrance and canted bay windows. Notable architectural details include moulded string courses and round-headed four-pane sash windows with wide spaced hood mouldings and carved terminals. The entrance door, which is now blocked, has a pointed arch supported by stiff-leaf columns with an inner shouldered arch, and small flanking lights beneath a continuous hood mould. The first floor features almost continuous paired pointed lights on stiff-leaf nook shafts, and the bays are topped with octagonal pitched roofs, with the right bay featuring a weathercock.

To the left, the 1896 extension adds three storeys with two bays and a left-forward wing that includes a canted three-storey bay. There is a door located in the angle of a projecting porch with a moulded cornice, and a lean-to structure to the right. A stack above displays the name and datestone. The windows throughout include two- and four-pane sashes with round and segmental heads on the bay, and square and round heads on the main block, all featuring hood moulds. The bay has an octagonal pitched roof with crested ridges.
