Description
The Talbot Hotel is a three-storey building dating from the 18th century, featuring a taller central block made of whitewashed stucco and topped with a slate roof. The eaves have paired brackets, and there are rendered brick corniced end stacks. The front has a three-window range with 4-pane horned sashes, which are smaller on the upper floor. The upper floors are accented with angle quoins, and the windows have raised stucco surrounds with keystones. The ground floor is rusticated, with voussoirs and keystones above the windows. At the center, there are double glazed doors set in a broad painted timber flat porch, which is supported by two chamfered piers and half-pier responds, with brackets at the top cornice. The end gables feature bargeboards, and there is a brick addition at the rear.
To the right is a converted mid-19th century coach-house and stables, constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof and a large stone external end stack that has a cornice. This two-storey structure has a four-window range, with four hornless 12-pane sashes above and two broad elliptical-arched entries, along with an arched door and arched window below. All openings are framed with sandstone voussoirs and the right corner has sandstone quoins. The ground floor openings have 20th-century glazing. A screen wall at the rear yard features a similar elliptical archway. This range is likely the original inn, also made of whitewashed rubble stone with a slate roof and a large external end stack that steps twice to the left and once to the right. It is two-storey with a four-window range, featuring four hornless 12-pane sashes above, spaced in pairs, with a similar sash in the left bay on the ground floor, a door in the third bay, and a pair of casements (originally sashes) in the fourth. Most openings have single-stone lintels, except for the door and right window, which have timber lintels. There are later rear additions.
Inside, there is a mid-19th century dog-leg stair leading to the main range, complete with finialled newels. The left range contains some heavy beams, and there is a timber-lintel fireplace in the southern end.
