Feathers Royal Hotel

The Feathers Royal Hotel is a U-shaped courtyard group built in the late Georgian style. The main hotel building, located on the right, is two stories high with a three-window roughcast front. It features end pilaster strips, eaves bands, and a plinth. The hipped slate roof has wide bracket eaves and a rubble chimney stack at the right end, while the other chimney has been recently removed. The 12-pane sash windows, which have lugged architraves and ornamental keystones, are a modern replacement from around 1900 for the original two-pane sashes, recreating the late Georgian style.

There is a central projecting porch added around 1990, which includes a balcony above with wooden balusters and a handrail, along with a bracket and dentil cornice below. Arched lights are positioned above the panels on each side of the double doors in the center.

The right side of the building is whitewashed rubble, featuring one blocked arched opening and two sash windows. To the right, there is a modern wall and several gabled buildings that are not of special interest. The left side is also whitewashed rubble, with sash windows that have glazing bars on the first floor and various windows on the ground floor, mostly fixed glazed. A side entrance has a pedimented hood on brackets and a glazed door.

The courtyard rises slightly to the southeast, which is closed by a former coach house. This two-story building is made of whitewashed rubble with a slate roof and has two large semicircular arched windows on the ground floor with glazing bars. Adjacent to the right is a lower structure. The left (northeast) range is also two stories, raised during conversion and topped with a hipped slate roof. It has a three-window front facing Alban Square, with 12-pane sash windows on the first floor and three-light windows on the ground floor. Behind, there is a twin-roofed structure with some sash glazing and deep recesses on the first floor, along with French windows below.
