Description

This building, at 1-7 Brown Street, is a late 18th century structure that was extended between 1835 and 1840 and altered in the late 20th century. It was originally a hotel, and has since been converted into flatted dwellings, with a shop at ground level. The building is three stories and has an attic, with a two-story section attached on the southeast side, incorporating a raised basement.

The exterior is largely harled, with ashlar margins and quoin strips, although some areas are constructed with squared rubble and raised margins, and the rear elevations are harled. A base course, band, and eaves course are visible. Segmental cart arches are prominent, alongside architraved openings, stone mullions, and timber sash windows.

The main southeast elevation features a full-height centre bay framed in stone, topped with a bust and urns. A cart arch at ground level is blocked with a part-glazed timber door, accompanied by a deep-set two-leaf door with a fanlight to the left and a bipartite window to the right. Regular fenestration is found on each floor above, with elaborately-finialled, wide-centre, canted dormer windows over the outer bays.

The southeast corner elevation showcases a broad, bowed bay with architraved windows on the raised basement, ground floor, and first floor. A lower, polygonal-roofed, two-story canted bay is situated in the re-entrant angle, featuring two windows to the left, a single window at the canted angle, and a blank bay to the right at ground level, changing to four windows above, each with coloured glass top lights. A recessed gabled face of the three-story block is visible behind, with a single window in the outer right corner on the second floor.

The southwest elevation, facing Brown Street, is a lower, nine-bay terrace (grouped 3-1-3-2). It features a timber door flanked by bipartite windows to the outer left, a cart arch immediately to the right, and a further door with flanking windows to the centre and right bays; the right bay includes an adjacent door. Two vertically-aligned small windows are located in the penultimate bay to the right, with a low arched opening (now blocked with a window) below a blind panel to the outer right. The first floor has regular fenestration, with a small additional window immediately to the right of bay four and a bipartite window in bay eight.

The windows are replacement timber sash and case windows with 4-, 12-pane and plate glass glazing. The roof is covered in grey slates. Brick stacks have coped tops and full clay cans; ashlar-coped skews have block skewputts, and there are cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers. Decorative cast-iron railings are set into a low wall.
