Corbett Arms Hotel

The Corbett Arms Hotel is a late-Georgian style hotel, dating from the late 18th century with an extension built in 1900. It is ten bays wide and three storeys high, with an attic space, and is constructed with a roughcast finish painted cream. The roof is slate, with deep eaves supported by brackets, and brick stacks are visible on the front roof slope. The building’s window arrangement is not perfectly symmetrical, with groupings of four and six bays, reflecting the original right-hand portion of the hotel and the left-hand extension. The right-hand side features rusticated quoins, while the left-hand side has rock-faced quoins. The windows are horned sash windows, with twelve panes in the upper sash and two panes in the lower sash. Lower and upper-storey windows have moulded cornices, while the middle storey features bracketed cornices with alternating segmental and triangular pediments. The two central bays have similar pediments to the upper-storey windows, and a gable above them displays a coat of arms and a pediment on consoles inscribed 'JC 1900AD'. The main entrance is in the ninth bay, sheltered by a 20th-century glazed porch with a hipped slate roof. A panelled door and overlight are located in the fourth bay, beneath a cornice linked with the window immediately to its left. Eight roof dormers, each with a segmental pediment and a sixteen-pane horned sash window, are present.

The right-hand gable end is asymmetrical, with sash windows in the middle and upper storeys, featuring small-paned upper sashes over two-pane lower sashes. Two windows in each storey are set into the right side of the apex, all with sashes similar to the front, except for a two-light inserted window in the lower storey. A one-bay rear extension mirrors this detailing.

The left-hand gable end is built of rock-faced stone, with an added brick stack, small-pane sashes, and inserted windows. The rear elevation incorporates four additional bays constructed of snecked rock-faced stone with lighter quoins. Windows and dormers here match the front elevations. Alternate bays feature two-storey canted bay windows. A gabled brick projection houses the stairwell, to which a conservatory has been added. Further to the left, a section of rock-faced stone wall connects to the return wall of the rear extension, which is built of rubble stone and incorporates windows similar to the front.

Inside, the entrance lobby features a polished slate fireplace surround. A dining room on the left side of the lobby has panelled cross beams supported on consoles. An axial corridor leads to an early 20th-century open-well staircase with moulded square newels and turned balusters. Panelled reveals incorporating lozenge panels are a recurring feature. The second dining room, located within the 1900 extension, also has panelled cross beams on consoles and panelled reveals.
