Description
The former coachhouse and stable of the Lion Hotel is a long, five-bay stone building that runs north to south at right angles to the street on the east side of the hotel. It is constructed from local grey slatey stone in an uncoursed style and has a slate roof. The gable that faces the street is slightly angled and features a chamfered left corner. To the left, facing the hotel, there is a gabled brickwork wing with a dentilled verge and a slate roof. There is also a small extension on the east side, which may have served as a bus shelter.
The building has double doors for the cartshed that face the street, with a loft door above. These doors are set in an altered opening that has brick sides and a steel beam. The gabled wing to the west includes a centrally located stable door, flanked by slatted windows, with a loft hatch above. There is also a wide door and loft hatch in the main range to the right, while part of the main range to the left has been converted for domestic use. A small yard is situated between this part and the main hotel building, which is partly occupied by steel stairs.
Additionally, there is a Victorian letter box set into the brickwork of the altered opening facing the street.
