Nos 15 & 17 Portland Place (partly the premises of 'Poppies')

Nos 15 and 17 Portland Place is a large three-storey former inn built from roughly squared limestone and topped with a slate roof. On the right side, there is a two-stage brick end chimney, with the upper stage being a late 19th-century addition. The ground floor features an entrance on the left section, which has an original six-panel door and a two-pane rectangular overlight. To the left of this entrance is a primary window opening with six-pane modern glazing, framed by dressed limestone voussoirs that form flat-arched heads. The centre of the elevation is taken up by a shop front for 'Poppies', which includes a plain shop window to the right of a recessed entrance and an additional entrance to the left. This section is slightly advanced and topped with a unifying fascia that has a moulded and dentilated cornice. The entrances are plain and part-glazed, with the left entrance being modern and featuring a three-pane overlight. To the right of the shop area is a depressed open arch that leads to a passageway at the rear of the building, which has modern iron half-gates. Beyond this passageway is a narrow end bay with an original, near-flush, twelve-pane unhorned sash window, also framed by voussoirs as previously mentioned.

The first and second floors have similar original windows arranged in three equally spaced bays, with the first-floor windows having twelve panes and the second-floor windows having nine panes, all featuring projecting stone sills.

No. 15 contains two full-height original narrow well staircases with stick balusters and shaped tread ends, along with boxed beams on the ground floor. No. 17, which houses 'Poppies', has an unvaulted medieval undercroft that is partly rock-cut, with rubble walls and an original flight of nine stone steps.
