Description
The Cain Valley Hotel is a three-storey building constructed from painted local brick, with the ground floor rendered. It features seven bays, painted quoins, and a slate roof that has three rectangular brick chimneys positioned forward of the ridge. The upper storey contains almost square small-pane windows, with old photographs indicating that four of these were "tax-painted" dummies. On the first floor, there is a central camber-headed window (blocked/dummy) flanked by three twelve-pane sash windows on each side, all with brick lintels. The ground floor has a central entrance doorway set behind a flat-roofed Tuscan porch, with two broad camber-headed windows on each side, each containing a pair of twelve-pane sashes.
At the rear, the building has a lower eaves line and features a late 19th-century range in red brick on the right side. The elevation facing Bridge Street includes a gable end with slightly overhanging upper storeys on the first floor, which has a two-light and a three-light small-pane casement window. The ground floor has a central doorway with paired sash windows to the right.
To the right of the gable, there is a long outhouse range constructed from painted rubble with slate roofs. The first section has two storeys, featuring two small-pane sashes on the first floor. On the ground floor, there is a broad camber-headed window with a pair of twelve-pane sashes on the left and a small camber-headed window on the right. The right section has a steeper roof pitch and a cross gable, with a single window on the first floor and three small camber-headed windows on the ground floor.
Inside, the entrance hall showcases an exposed timber-framed wall with a jowled front post and remnants of a jettied front, including exposed beams in the lounge bar. At the rear, a fine 17th-century staircase rises the full height of the building, featuring tapering newel posts with carved bosses and pendants, fretted splat balusters, and a moulded handrail. The outbuildings facing Bridge Street enclose parts of a timber-framed building that has been later encased in stone, which is said to contain old roof trusses and traces of wind-braces.
