Description

The Gordon Arms Hotel is a coaching inn, now functioning as a hotel, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century. The building has been altered at both the front and rear and features two storeys with five bays, arranged in a 2-3 grouping, along with a single-storey, six-bay wing. The exterior is harled with stone margins and quoin strips, and there are some stop-chamfered arrises.

On the south elevation, there is a gabled porch with a boarded timber door and narrow lights on each side in the bay to the right of the centre at ground level. Flanking windows are present, with the left window being a later bipartite design, and two additional windows to the outer left. The first floor has three regularly spaced windows that break the eaves into gablet dormerheads, a small window near the eaves between bays three and five, and a plaque located between bays two and three. There are slightly advanced piend-roofed single-storey bays to the outer left, featuring a boarded timber door to the left, windows in the flanking bays, and a further door with an adjacent window to the left at the outer right, along with a lower bay to the outer left that has a broad sliding timber door.

The east elevation has gabled bays to the outer left with two ground-level windows and a single window to the right on the first floor, along with a signboard to the left. Slightly set-back later bays to the right contain three ground-level windows and two windows that break the eaves into dormerheads on the first floor.

The west elevation features a blank piended bay with a door in the link wall at the outer left. The north elevation displays a variety of elements, including a blank gabled bay to the left and a single-storey gable to the right.

The building has 4- and 6-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with dark grey slates and features fishscale bands on the porch. Coped harled stacks with cans are present, along with plain bargeboarding and cast-iron downpipes that have decorative rainwater hoppers.

The property is enclosed by rubble boundary walls that are complemented by decorative ironwork gates.
