Description
The Spread Eagle Hotel is a Grade II* listed hotel located on the west side of South Street in Midhurst. The main part of the hotel consists of two originally separate buildings that have now been joined together. The northern section is an L-shaped timber-framed building, likely dating from the 15th century, which houses the Lounge Bar among other areas. The hotel sign claims a date of 1430. This section features painted brick infilling, some close-studding, and an oversailing first floor supported by brackets. It has curved braces and a tiled roof, with casement windows that have diamond-shaped panes. The north end of the east front has an overhanging gable, while the north front includes two small bays on the ground floor topped with a sloping tiled hood. This part of the hotel is two storeys high with four windows facing east and four facing north.
The southern building, which was originally separate, is an early 18th-century house made of painted brick. It has a stone string course, a dentilled eaves cornice, and a hipped tiled roof. The windows are set in stone surrounds with keyblocks and retain their glazing bars. There is a recessed doorway with spayed reveals. This section is also two storeys high and features five windows along with two window spaces and three dormers. Additionally, the hotel extends into two former mid-19th century painted brick cottages located on West Street.
