Description

Osborne House, located at Queen's Terrace, is a former hotel built in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of stucco and features three stories with a classical front that originally consisted of three houses. The ground floor is rusticated, while the upper floors are adorned with Tuscan pilasters and a cornice. There are remains of an iron balustrade on the ground floor. The windows are sash with glazing bars set in architrave surrounds, although the ground floor has modern windows. The cornice is present, but the roof is not visible. Nos 1 to 18 on Queen's Terrace form a group.
