The Courtyard And 2 Houses Adjoining At The Right

The Courtyard and two adjoining houses are a hotel and residential buildings dating from the early 19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. They are constructed from stone rubble and topped with slate roofs, featuring end stacks on the main block in the center, a left end stack, and an axial stack on the left-hand block, as well as a right end stack on the right-hand block.

The layout includes a tall central block flanked by lower-roofed blocks, with a central carriage entrance. The exterior showcases a three-storey central block alongside two two-storey blocks, arranged in a 4:3:3 window front. The left-hand block has a front door positioned to the left of center, adorned with a rectangular fanlight and flanked by impressive granite columns topped with an entablature. Most of the glazing is modern plastic windows, but three first-floor left-hand windows retain their original embrasures, featuring segmental stone arches. The first-floor right-hand window is a reglazing of a late 19th or early 20th-century canted bay with a moulded cornice. The ground floor includes a window similar to the first-floor left-hand windows, along with two large modern windows with glazing bars to the right of the front door.

The central block is the most significant, standing three storeys tall with three irregularly spaced bays. It has a wide carriage entrance in the center, supported by Tuscan half-columns and an entablature featuring a pulvinated frieze and a moulded cornice. The second floor has timber sash windows with moulded cases, arranged in a 4 over 3-pane configuration, while the first floor features 12-pane sashes and a 16-pane sash on the ground floor right, with the ground floor left being reglazed with a 16-pane plastic sash. The right end block is two storeys high with three windows; the ground floor has 16-pane sashes on both sides and front doors situated between the windows. A wide segmental arch with a keystone spans the left-hand window and door, while the first floor has three modern timber two-light casements.

The interior has not been inspected but may contain interesting features. This building range forms one side of Newton Square.
