Description
Sefton House is a house that has been converted into a hotel, dating from the early 19th century. It features painted roughcast walls with painted stone dressings and a slate roof. The building stands three storeys high, likely above cellars, and has three bays. The windows have plain reveals and projecting sills, with a sill band on the first floor. The upper two storeys retain glazing bar sashes, although the central bay's second-floor window has been re-glazed with late 20th-century frosted glass, and the ground-floor sashes have been replaced with fixed lights that include glazing bars. A flight of steps leads to the entrance door, located in the right-hand bay, which now has concrete treads. The six-panelled door is framed by a pedimented doorcase supported by engaged Tuscan columns. Gable chimneys are present on the roof.
