Description
The Ness House Hotel, formerly known as Ness House, is an early 19th-century house that has been altered in the mid-19th century and with a late 19th-century wing added to the right. It is constructed of painted stucco with a hipped slate roof and rendered stacks to the front and rear left. The building has a double-depth plan and includes a long, two-storey set-back wing to the right.
The exterior has a three-window front and wide, overhanging eaves which form a two-storey verandah, supported by cast-iron columns. The first-floor level of the verandah features semi-elliptical timber trellised arches and railings, with 6/6-pane sash windows; the ground floor is open. A six-panel door is set in a reeded doorcase with plain blocks to the upper corners, and the porch is now glazed with similar trellissing to the balcony. Ground-floor French windows, dating from around 1850, have margin panes and Gothic glazing to the overlights. The garden return is similarly designed with plate-glass French windows.
Inside, the ground-floor rooms feature panelled shutters with raised moulding and inverted corners, matching moulding to double doors set in a reeded architrave with plain blocks to the upper corners, and decorative cornices dating from around 1850.
A high, painted rubble stone wall is attached to the front right corner of the building. This wall fronts the right wing and forms a courtyard.
The property was the residence of Lord Clifford of Chudleigh, Lord of the Manor.
