Description
Ladstock Country House Hotel is a building that began as a house in the late 18th century and was extensively altered and extended in 1902. It is constructed from Skiddaw slate rubble with sandstone dressings and features a graduated greenslate roof with painted rendered chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and four bays, with additional bays to the right.
The entrance is a studded plank door located under a slated veranda porch. There are projecting bay windows on either side, with the left bay being canted. Both ground-floor windows have stone mullions, while the upper floors feature timber-framed casements. To the right, there is one original upper-floor sash window with glazing bars above an enlarged ground-floor window; the other windows from 1902 have leaded panes.
Inside, a ground-floor room boasts an Adam-style plaster ceiling, and a curved columned fireplace is flanked by inglenook recesses. There is also some Art Nouveau stained glass present. The wooden staircase is intricately carved with vine foliage. Additional 20th-century extensions to the right are not of interest.
