Description
The Downe Arms Hotel is an early 19th-century hotel located on the south side of Castleton's High Street. It is constructed from coursed, tooled sandstone and features a pantiled roof with stone dressings. The building stands three storeys high with three wide bays, and it has a two-storey, two-bay wing on the left.
The main entrance consists of a six-panel door, which has a lintel that has been cut away to create a low overlight, positioned between the first and second windows. The hotel has sash windows, with original ones on the second floor and later 19th-century ones below. All windows are adorned with heavy tooled-and-margined lintels and projecting cills. The wing includes a central boarded door and a first-floor window set in a gabled half dormer. The building is topped with stone-coped gabled and corniced end chimneys.
