Hand Hotel

Built in red brick to Flemish bond, set on a stone plinth, and having stone sill bands to ground and first floors, and a hipped slate roof. The main early block is of 3 storeys and cellars, 5 bays, comprising a 3-bay centre set slightly forward of the single end bays. Central entrance, a Tuscan portico set on a half-round step, and carrying a flat topped entablature. Pair of panelled doors with a 5-paned overlight. The ground and first floors are of the same height and similarly glazed as usual for hostelries, tripartite 12-pane sashes with gauged brick lintels, now rendered. The top floor has shorter windows of similar width, 9-pane sashes. Stone moulded eaves. Large rebuilt chimney stacks set in from the end bays. Above the portico, a cast iron bracket for the inn sign. The extension to the N is similar in style, 2 and a half bays. To the rear, a C19 range at right angles with steep pitched roof.

The interior has been considerably altered.
