Ord House Hotel

Ord House Hotel is a building from the later 18th century, with various additions and alterations from the 19th century, including work by James Ross in 1850. The exterior is harled with ashlar margins.

The central block, dating from the later 18th century, is two stories with an attic and consists of three bays, flanked by single-story and attic wings that create a shallow U-shaped entrance court facing south. The slightly advanced central bay features a doorway that is concealed by a porch with pilasters and columns, topped with a moulded cornice and filled with modern glazing. On the ground floor, there are tripartite windows on either side, which were likely enlarged around 1830, and a further tripartite window in the center on the first floor, which has a wide blind side light and a bipartite window above. The building also has a corbelled apex chimney and a recut datestone from 1637. The outer second-floor windows extend through the wallhead into later 19th-century finialled gablets, with flat skews and skewputts from the same period.

Each of the flanking outer wings features a single dormer that matches the main block's detailing, located in the inner face wallheads. The south gable of the east wing has two tall ground floor windows and two shorter first-floor windows, which have lying pane glazing from around 1830.

At the rear, there are various wings, mostly single-story and attic, but there is also a two-story, three-bay block with tall first-floor windows facing north that contains a dormer drawing room. The building primarily features 12-pane glazing, corniced end stacks, and slate roofs.
