Description
The Highbury Hotel is a three-storey building with an attic, originally part of an old gaol. It features a projecting pedimented frontispiece that has been cut back to align with the main block, which retains its hipped slate roof. The building has been modified with a new double-gabled front for two villas named Highbury and Brooklands.
Architectural details include bargeboard gables and a late 20th-century conservatory on the ground floor. The first floor has been altered with large oriel windows that have flower balconies beneath them, and the second floor features large windows with late 20th-century glazing. The attic has Gothic-style lights.
The chamfered angles of the building correspond with historical views of the gaol, although the window arrangement dates from around 1898, with some traces of blocked windows still visible. The lower rear range, which also has a hipped roof, is part of the original gaol and shows evidence of blocked openings.
