Description
The Elephant and Castle Hotel is a three-storey building with a symmetrical front featuring three windows. It is constructed of colourwashed Flemish bond brick and has a gently pitched slate roof with a lead ridge and a blocking course on a plain cornice. There are brick stacks, truncated to the left. The second and first floor windows have modern casements, along with modern shutters and an ironwork balcony. The ground floor on the left retains an original tripartite sash window, which has gauged brick voussoirs, plain reveals, and stone sills. The entrance features a round arched doorway and a simply moulded, flat-roofed open porch supported by square pillars.
At the rear, the building is made of English garden wall bond brick and has nine and twelve-pane sash windows, along with raking lead dormers in the roof. There are later additions, including a converted flannel factory.
