Description
The Old Admiral Nelson is a former inn and house located on Nelson Street in Buckingham. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone some alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, which has been painted, and features a slate roof with brick end stacks.
The structure has a one-unit plan and stands three stories tall with a two-window range. A 20th-century door is positioned to the right, accessed by three stone steps, and is framed by a moulded wood surround with a flat-arched head. To the left of the door is a wide, shallow canted bay window, which contains a 12-pane sash window at the front and 8-pane sashes on the sides. Above the bay and door is a continuous straight hood with a fascia.
On the first floor, there are 12-pane sash windows with flat-arched heads, while the second floor features 9-pane sashes. A small cellar window is located to the left of the steps and is partly overhung by the right side of the bay window, which is supported on a timber beam. The exterior also includes storey bands and cogged brick eaves.
Inside, the building features chamfered spine beams and a winder stair that connects the cellar to the attic.
