Description
The Cock Hotel is a building from 1893 designed in the Tudor style. It is constructed from squared rubble with ashlar dressings and has two storeys plus attics, topped by a tiled roof featuring six gables. A moulded band runs along the first floor. The windows are lattice casements with stone mullions and ground floor transoms. The hotel consists of two blocks; the left block slightly projects and includes a gabled central two-storey bay with a ground floor porch, flanked by a pair of single-storey canted bay windows. The recessed block on the right has a projecting gable on the left and a single-storey canted bay window on the right. The building features massive ashlar chimney stacks that are rectangular in plan with cap and base mouldings.
