Bowden Hall Hotel

Bowden Hall Hotel began as a large country house, later adapted and extended to serve as a hotel. The main block dates to the 1770s, with alterations and enlargements undertaken around 1970. It is constructed of brick with a stucco facing, brick chimneys, and a Welsh slate roof. The building comprises a rectangular main block, a two-storey service wing to the rear connecting to a two-storey former stable block to the northwest.

The southwest front features three three-storey bowed projections with a parapet roof, the bow to the right being a 20th-century addition. Each bow has three sashes at each level; plate glass from the 19th century is found on the ground and middle floors, while the upper floor has 6-pane windows from the 18th century. A curved projecting balcony with 19th-century iron railings is situated at the middle floor level. The southwest front has a mutilated stone modillion parapet cornice and plain bands at the floor levels.

The northwest entrance front has a three-window sash arrangement, with alterations to the ground floor. All windows are plate glass, except for a 20th-century casement on the upper floor to the left. A central, projecting, pedimented Ionic porch provides access via 20th-century panelled doors. A small, round-arched niche is located to the right and is now blocked, formerly containing a narrow 19th-century sash window. A plain band runs across the middle floor level. Chamfered quoins are on the left side while a projecting pilaster is on the right. A roof light is set into the hipped roof.

The service wing projects to the left and connects to the side of the C-plan stables and coach house. Sash windows are present, with alterations in the stable block, though original plain architraves remain. The stable block has a hipped roof with modillion eaves and chamfered quoins. A late 19th-century single-storey room is attached to the center of the stable block, featuring a hipped roof with vent louvres in the gablet and a cambered-arched mullioned and transomed window with stained glass to each face - possibly a former Eton Fives court, as documented in Birchall diaries. A 20th-century elevation now occupies the southeast side, replacing a former 19th-century conservatory.

The interior has been altered but retains a staircase with three turned balusters per tread, an open string, and swept wreathed handrails. A tall, round-arched stair window with white stained glass is on the landing. A large, central, three-centred arched coach doorway in the stable block is obscured by a later 19th-century addition. The house was formerly the home of John Dearman Birchall in the 19th century and stands within landscaped grounds.
