Description
Fisher’s Hotel is likely from around 1883, incorporating fabric from the late 1830s, with extensions built in 1897 and 1987. It is a 3-storey and attic, 6-bay hotel with pavilion roofs and a crenellated stair tower; extensions to the west and south are not included in this listing, nor is the former stable block. The hotel is constructed of squared and snecked rubble with ashlar quoins at the second floor level, ashlar margins (those to the northeast are raised), and features round-headed dormer windows with overhanging, bracketed gables and pendant finials, as well as a corbelled stack. Stone mullions and stop-chamfered arrises are also present.
The northeast (principal) elevation has recessed centre bays fronted by a modern canopy supported by slender cast-iron columns with decorative braces. A modern door is located in the bay to the right, with bipartite windows to the centre and left bays. There are four windows to each floor above, and four dormer windows to the mansard roof. Flanking outer bays are slightly advanced, each featuring delicate cast-iron brattishing above a canted tripartite window at ground and first floor, a bipartite window to the second floor, and a dormer window to the French pavilion roof. An extension from 1897 adjoins the outer right.
The southeast elevation showcases a full-height, corbelled, shouldered stack that pierces the eaves to the right of centre. There is a window to each floor in the bay to the left, and a dormer window above. A former stable block projects to the left, alongside a variety of elements in bays extending to the outer left (beyond the stable projection), including timber and stone-pedimented dormer windows and an engaged crenellated tower.
The northwest (garden) elevation is irregular, with bays to the left obscured by the extension. Two unaltered bays remain to the right; the left bay has a canted 4-light window to each floor, leading to a finialled polygonal roof, while the right bay features a bipartite window to the ground floor and a stone-pedimented dormer window above.
The southwest elevation is gabled and includes a French window in the bay to the left at ground level, a window to the right, and regular fenestration to the first floor.
The windows are timber sash and case with 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered in grey slates, with coped and shouldered ashlar stacks, some with cans, and stepped ashlar-coped skews.
The interior has been largely altered, but retains the main dog-leg staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail, along with some decorative and plain plasterwork cornices. Art Deco chimneypieces and staircase detailing are also present.
A range of lean-to glasshouses runs along the northwest boundary.
The boundary walls are coped rubble with some inset hooped ironwork railings. Segmentally-coped and finialled, square-section, stop-chamfered ashlar gatepiers are dated '18' '83', and there are hooped ironwork gates.
