Description
The Phoenix Hotel, along with its rear wings and the dwellings at 1-7 Phoenix Courtyard, is a late 18th-century hotel with later 19th-century additions. Originally known as The George Hotel, it has undergone changes including a conversion of part of the building to dwellings in the early 21st century. The exterior is painted roughcast, likely over limestone rubble, with painted stone dressings, and has a slate roof with brick stacks.
The building is arranged with a double-depth plan, featuring substantial wings to the right and left of a rear courtyard. It presents a two-story, five-window facade. First-floor windows are topped with pediments resting on plain consoles. The left window is a tripartite sash with six panes to each sash. A 20th-century French window sits above the porch, second from the left; the centre and an inside-right window are six-pane sashes; and the far-right window is an eight-pane sash above a shop front with a canted bay window, dating from around 1960. A carriage entrance to the rear courtyard is positioned on the right side, while a sash window with a moulded architrave is centrally placed. To the left is a wide porch in the Doric style, featuring paired columns and a balcony with railings. The far-left window is a tripartite sash with six panes and a moulded architrave.
The interior was significantly altered around 1980.
