Description
Heaves Hotel is a hotel built in the early 19th century, with later alterations and the addition of a mansarded attic. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a plinth, quoins, and a cill band at the first floor. It has a graduated greenslate roof with lead rolls along the ridges, four chimney stacks, and a corniced parapet, all reflecting the Greek Revival style. The hotel has two storeys plus attics and three windows on the upper floor, which are sashes with glazing bars, except for a 20th-century French window inserted in the center of the first floor. The ground floor has a single sash window to the left and a tripartite sash window to the right, both with moulded surrounds and cornices supported on consoles, set in slightly recessed segmental-headed arches. The upper floor windows also have moulded stone surrounds. A central tetrastyle Ionic porch with a dentilled cornice features paired doors, and the fanlight and sidelights have decorative glazing bars.
