The Unicorn Hotel

The Unicorn Hotel is a 18th-century building that was formerly a coaching inn, with a third floor added later, likely in the early 19th century. It is constructed of white-washed brick and has four storeys. The building features a modillioned and dentilled wooden eaves cornice and is arranged in three bays. The windows are cased sashes, and there are two-storey canted bays with moulded wooden cornices on the ground and first floors. The entrance includes a six-panelled door with a semi-circular fanlight set in deep reveals, supported by Tuscan three-quarter columns that hold an entablature. Above the door is an early or mid 18th-century flat moulded wooden hood, which rests on moulded scrolled consoles. A relief of a unicorn is situated above this, followed by a semi-circular board displaying "Posting House" in well-crafted 19th-century sans-serif capitals. The ground, first, and second floors at the rear of the building have brick bands and cased flush-framed sashes, with a total of six bays.
