The Lion Hotel

The Lion Hotel comprises an older inn range and a later addition. The original building, to the right, is a one-storey and attic structure with painted roughcast walls, a raised plinth, and a plain tile roof. It features a large brick stack to the right of centre and a shared chimney at the left end with the 19th-century addition. The extreme left side of the front wall was refaced with red brick when the addition was built. The front facade includes a later 19th-century cross-window with a brick segmental head, followed by roughcast sections with cambered-headed cross-windows. A four-panel door is positioned just left of the main chimney, complemented by another cambered-headed window in the right bay. Above, a large timber-framed dormer features two iron small-paned casement-pair windows and a gable incorporating modern painted timber framing; a fleur-de-lys was incorporated into this framing in 1983. A smaller, later 19th-century dormer with decorative mock framing, bargeboards, and a small-paned two-light window sits to the right of the doorway. The original door is four-panelled and set within a 19th-century doorcase with thin panelled piers and a plain pediment. The window in the right bay is a 20-pane horned sash, designed to resemble a cross-window with a thicker centre bar. The right end gable is roughcast with a plinth and has horizontally-glazed 19th-century sash windows on each floor. A large modern rear right addition extends from the building, and a rear left gabled wing is present with a cement-coped gable.

The brick 19th-century building to the left is constructed in English bond brickwork, two storeys high, with three bays and nogged brick eaves. It has a slate roof and corniced brick end stacks. The windows are four-pane horned sashes with gauged brick heads and sloping stone sills. The right bay features a similar head over the doorway, which has a four-panel door and lettered overlight. The left end gable is slate hung. An attached outbuilding to the southwest has a southeast gable of red brick with two blind semi-circular arches and a northwest gable with timber framing and brick infill.

Inside, the left room of the original section contains a wide inglenook fireplace with a large wood bressumer. Another rear room features an old two-light casement with small panes, an old catch in the rear wall, and a wide beam with chamfer, the joists concealed by a plaster ceiling. The Victorian section includes a cellar and some contemporary fittings.
