Description
The British Hotel, which includes the British Buttery Bar, is a building designed in a simple Classical style. It has three storeys and a basement, with a modern attic added. The front is made of colourwashed brick featuring raised long and short quoins, a dentil cornice, a plinth, and band courses. The roof is slate, with brick end chimney stacks that have moulded caps, and the centre has a slate-hung attic.
The main range projects and has five windows, with additional ranges on either side, the one on the right being broader. Most of the windows are sash windows with marginal glazing bars, while the attic features casement windows. The main range includes corbelled cills, bracketed lintels on the second floor, and architraves and pedimented lintels on the first floor. The ground floor has plain lintels and architraves. A central flat roof porch with a cornice leads to a broad entry that has modern signs and Art Nouveau small pane glass. A former window on the right has been converted into another doorway, and there are grilles over the small pane basement windows.
To the left and right of the main range are three-storey sections, with a two-window range on the left and a four-window range on the right, both featuring similar sash windows but with simpler details. The Buttery Bar, located at the extreme left end beyond the quoins, has a similar two-window front and is included for its group value; it features a modern bar front with a six-panel door.
On the right side, the building splayed across the corner has one sash window and a narrow modern extension, with additional sash windows beyond on the roughcast rear. There is a large modern extension to the left rear. The front also has similar style railings with a cross pattern.
Inside, the Dining Room retains Rococo plasterwork ornament.
