Seafield Arms Hotel And Gatepiers, Chapel Street, Whitehills

The Seafield Arms Hotel, located on Chapel Street in Whitehills, dates from the later 18th century and features later additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay house with an early 19th-century continuous two-storey, two-bay addition at the south gable, creating a five-bay frontage. There is also a lower two-storey, wide single bay rear wing that faces Chapel Street. The exterior is harled with contrasting painted ashlar margins.

The main entrance of the original house is concealed by a later timber gabled porch, while there is a secondary entrance on the street gable. Some 12-pane glazing remains in the old house, with 2- and 4-pane windows found elsewhere. The end stacks have been renewed in the old house, and it features flat skews with run-off skewputts, along with a slate roof that has roof lights, likely replacing an earlier thatched roof.

Inside, the old house includes raised and fielded panelled window shutters and turned balusters on a plain central staircase.

The front garden is enclosed by harled rubble walls, with a pedestrian entrance flanked by square harled piers topped with pyramidal caps and ball finials.
