Burleigh Court Hotel Including Garden Steps And Gateway

Burleigh Court Hotel, originally a large detached house, dates from around 1800 and was altered around 1930 by Clough Williams-Ellis. The building is constructed of ashlar limestone with ashlar chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. It has a three-storey U-plan layout with a single-storey courtyard infill. The former stables at the west end have been incorporated into the hotel.

The south (garden) front is symmetrical, featuring a window arrangement of 1:2:1:2:1. It includes two full-height segmental bow windows, with generally 12-pane sashes on the ground and middle floors and 9-pane sashes on the upper floor. Many ground floor windows have been altered to later 19th-century glazed doors. The façade has plain sill bands and a wider band at the middle floor level, along with an eaves cornice and a hipped roof that has ridge-mounted chimneys with moulded caps. To the left, there is a lower single-storey linking section with the rear of the former stable range beyond.

Adjoining the building are round fronted stone steps leading to a higher level of the garden, along with classical gate piers and open balustrading, all part of Williams-Ellis's improvements. The east end features a three-window fenestration with narrow central sashes and outer tripartite sashes. The north (entrance) front has a three-window arrangement in the main range, with a single window in each projecting wing, all featuring sashes similar to those on the south front. The central tripartite sash is present on the middle and upper floors, while the ground floor is obscured by a single-storey infill that matches the style and includes sash windows and an off-centre Tuscan pedimented porch in antis, with a recessed glazed doorway flanked by sashes. The stable range to the right has a pair of large gate piers leading to a small yard.

Inside, the cornices and doorcases are mostly from around 1800, and the staircase features stick balusters. There is a panelled room in the single-storey part that may have been created by Williams-Ellis.
