Bishopsgate Hotel & Restaurant

The Bishopsgate Hotel & Restaurant is a symmetrical 2½-storey, 5-bay Georgian house built with scribed roughcast walls, a slate roof, and a roughcast stack on the right side. The central entrance features a plain rendered doorcase leading to a recessed 6-panel door with an overlight, flanked by Gothic panelled pilasters. The windows are 12-pane horned sashes set beneath hood moulds. Notably, the fourth bay on the upper storey has a sash window that replaced an earlier oriel window. A central gable includes a 12-pane horizontal sliding sash window in the attic, while to the left and right are replacement 2-light gabled roof dormers.

The right gable end is pebble-dashed and contains a 12-pane hornless sash window to the right of centre on the lower storey, and a casement window to the left of centre on the upper storey. The rear of the building is partially rendered and partially rubble stone, all painted white. A central round-headed radial-glazed small-pane sash window lights the stairwell, and the upper storey features 12-pane sash windows, horned to the right of centre and hornless to the left. Three gabled roof dormers have top-hung casements. A single-storey lean-to is located to the left of centre, and a rear wing on the right side has a lower roof line, with two 9-pane sash windows in the upper storey and an added lean-to in the lower storey. A lower rubble-stone rear range, indicated as a brewhouse on the 1829 town plan, has replacement windows.

The original symmetrical double-depth plan of the house remains intact despite its conversion into a hotel and restaurant. The room to the right of the entrance hall features fielded wooden panels painted white and a plaster cornice. The main rooms have fielded-panel doors. At the rear of the entrance hall, there is an elegant Chinese Chippendale open-well staircase with a wreathed handrail and scrolled tread ends. A corridor to the left at the back of the entrance hall leads to a simpler open-well service stair, which has turned balusters and plain newels.
