Five Arrows Hotel

The Five Arrows Hotel is a hotel built in 1887 by W. Taylor and Son of Bierton for Ferdinand de Rothschild. The building features a rubble stone ground floor, with ornamental half-timbering and pebble-dash above, along with some tile-hanging. It has tiled roofs, moulded bargeboards, and rows of variously patterned circular brick chimney shafts with cogged caps, giving it a highly picturesque appearance.

The hotel is two storeys high with an attic. The front facing the road has two-storey gabled projections that flank a porch and a first-floor verandah. These projections include stone mullion and transom windows with arched top lights on the ground floor, wooden oriel windows on the first floor, and overhanging gables. The right projection features an inn sign, while the left has a cast iron weathervane with five crossed arrows and a flag initialed F.R.

The porch and verandah are divided into three narrow bays by tapering wooden shafts and are adorned with wooden balustrades and ornamental fringes with pendants. There is a scrolled wrought iron ornament over the central ground floor opening, with double doors and wooden casements featuring central arched lights behind. Additionally, there are two elaborate wrought iron brackets for inn signs.

The right side of the hotel is more irregular, featuring a projection with a similar first-floor verandah to the left and an octagonal corner turret with a splayed conical roof on the right. To the left of the street front, there is a pair of wooden gates with a balustraded frieze that connects the hotel to a former stable block, which is now part garages. This stable block is made of red brick and has three semi-dormers in half-timbered gables on the front, with a lower wing extending at right angles to the rear.
