Cleeveway Hotel

Cleeveway Hotel is a former house that has been converted into a hotel. It likely dates from the late 18th century and was extended and altered in the mid to late 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring dressed stone quoins and ashlar dressings, topped with a stone slate roof that has rendered and ashlar stacks. The layout is basically square, possibly incorporating an 18th-century building between two east-west cross wings, with an additional 18th-century range at the north-east corner.

The entrance front has twin gables and includes a two-storey canted bay on the left, which features sash windows with horns and horizontal glazing bars on the ground floor, and 8-pane sashes on the upper floor. The front is adorned with an embattlemented parapet and a small two-light window above. There is a central 19th-century projecting open-sided porch supported by fluted columns and round-headed arches with keystones on three sides. The porch contains a part-glazed door with leaded panes from the 20th century, flanked by two sash windows with horizontal glazing bars to the right. The first floor has four 12-pane sashes and a small 4-pane window in the upper right gable. All windows have dressed stone surrounds with keystones. The area between the two gables is slightly recessed at the first-floor level and features a deep moulded cornice.

The west front is almost symmetrical with a 2:2:2 window arrangement, lit by sash windows that have plain dressed stone architraves with keystones and some glazing bars that are only horizontal. The east front has two two-storey canted bays with battlemented parapets. Large circular fluted pedestals with finials were formerly located at the apex and eaves of each gable, though some are now badly eroded or missing.

Inside, there is a cornice with anthemion decoration and Corinthian modillions featuring floral bosses. The mid to late 19th-century open-well staircase has a wreathed handrail and a foliate cast iron balustrade. An incomplete interior inspection suggests that many period features are still retained.
