Description
The Lion Hotel is a two-storey symmetrical house built in the 19th century. It features an east/west range with two full-height octagonal bays at the front and a central porch with the main entrance. Uniquely, there is no window above the door, and the bays have diagonal faces that are slightly recessed. The front is constructed of mellow red brick, while the left gable has white-painted render that is exposed to the side street and slightly returns at the front. The roof is slate with a tile ridge, and there is a left end chimney. The bays are hipped, with slates butted at the hip lines. Each bay contains three windows above and below, featuring stone sills and rendered flat arches; the front has 12-pane sash windows, while the sides have 8-pane sash windows. The upper windows are the same height as the lower ones, and most of the sashes are hornless. The front door is cased and is flanked by two Tuscan columns under a deep entablature. A centrally located chimney is heavily overgrown with ivy.
To the right (east) of the house, there is an extension built in similar brick and slate, which includes an end chimney. This extension has two windows above and below, with a door slightly offset to the left. An eaves dentil course is said to exist but is concealed by ivy. The windows are of typical local Victorian style, featuring 16 panes with hornless sashes and blue brick sills, likely with brick flat arches that are also concealed by ivy. The door is a modern semi-glazed type with steps.
The rear of the house is constructed of stone and originally had sash windows. There is a large modern rear wing added to the structure.
