Description

The Wynnstay Arms is a large two-storey hotel built in a carefully balanced irregular design that reflects domestic Tudor Gothic style. It features prominent gables and eaves lines that are interrupted by pseudo-dormers. The building is constructed of roughcast masonry, likely from local stone, which is painted white, with later red-brick additions at the rear. The roofs are covered with slate, featuring laced slating in the valleys and tile ridges. Yellow-brick chimneys with octagonal shafts, which are heavily moulded and grouped in twos or threes, add to the character of the building. The bargeboards are deep and boldly projecting, with some displaying apex finials.

The front of the hotel faces south towards the village street. It includes a large gable on the left side, which is balanced by an eaves-fronted bay on the right, separated by a two-storey gabled porch that advances from the main facade. The west side elevation has four windows and an advancing gable that is off-centre to the right. The east side elevation features two windows, an advancing gable to the left, and later additions including a red-brick bay and a low red-brick wing to the north. The windows throughout the building consist of two or three lights with timber mullions and transoms, all painted black. There are low modern extensions on both the left and right sides of the front elevation, which are rendered and painted white. The porch contains similar three-light side windows and a boarded Tudor door at the front, along with a hanging sign that reads "Wynnstay Arms" in the porch gable.
