Royal Madoc Arms Hotel

The Royal Madoc Arms Hotel is a late Georgian style hotel, constructed symmetrically. The main block is three bays wide and three storeys high with an attic, flanked by lower, two-storey, two-bay wings. The hotel is built from roughly dressed blocks of quarried stone laid in regular courses, with a slate roof behind coped gables and stone end stacks to the main range. A rendered, flat-roofed porch stands centrally and features round-headed openings in its side walls. The entrance is accessed via a half-glazed, fielded-panel door. Windows have late 19th-century rendered architraves with shallow triangular heads. The lower storey windows are 4-pane, horned sashes; the middle storey windows are 12-pane hornless sashes (horned to the right-hand side); and the upper storey windows are 6-pane hornless sashes. Three hipped roof dormers are fitted with 2-light casements.

The right-hand wing, originally the tap room, is in line with the main range and abuts the Market Hall. It mirrors the architectural details of the main range and incorporates 12-pane hornless sashes in the upper storey. A glazed door with a glazed side panel has been inserted into an earlier doorway on the right-hand side, and a large, small-pane bay window has been inserted to the left.

The left-hand wing has a roof hipped to the left side and a heightened stone stack centrally positioned. It features a half-glazed, fielded-panel door (similar to the main entrance) and 4-pane, horned sashes in rendered architraves. A lean-to with a boarded door is situated at the left end. The three-window left side wall features, in the lower storey, a centrally boarded-up window and a 12-pane, horned sash window to the left. The upper storey has 4-pane sash windows to the centre and left, and a blocked window to the right. A modern canopy is attached to the left end, extending to No. 1 Dublin Street (the former stable block).

The rear of the main range displays two windows and includes 12-pane sash windows on the middle storey, although many are now replacements. Other additions include an escape stair from the attic and an inserted attic roof dormer. The left-side wing has a flat-roofed projection and a replacement small-pane window in the upper storey. The longer right-side wing features an added flat-roofed projection.

The ground floor of the main range currently comprises a single room. A fireplace on the left-hand side features a massive freestone cambered lintel.
