Description
The County Hotel is a three-storey hotel built with painted roughcast and features slate roofs and red brick chimneys. The building is hipped at an angle and has three plus one bays on the front, with two bays facing Picton Place. There are brick stacks at both ends and one on the ridge to the left of the main three bays. The windows consist of 6-pane squares on the top floor, 12-pane windows on the first floor, and tripartite windows with a 4-12-4-pane arrangement on the ground floor. The windows on the main floors are framed in raised moulded stuccoed surrounds.
The main three bays feature a central arched doorway that is set within an open porch supported by Roman Doric columns, with pilaster responds, an entablature, and a cornice. Above the doorway, there are renewed iron railings on the balcony. The doorway itself has plain pilasters and a moulded arch. The single bay to the left has similar upper floor windows but lacks a ground floor window. The two bays facing Picton Place also have similar windows on each floor.
On the north end gable, there is a 12-pane window at the top over an 18-pane stair light, both positioned to the right. The building has a three-storey rear northwest wing with two brick stacks, one on the ridge and one at the west end. This wing has three bays set to the right, featuring 6-pane windows on the top floor, 12-pane windows on the first floor, and altered windows on the ground floor.
The interiors of the hotel have been generally modernised on the ground floor.
