Royston Hotel

The Royston Hotel is an end terrace house that reflects the Georgian architectural style. It is taller than the adjacent property at No 21 and features three bays across two storeys, topped with a slate gabled roof and a painted rendered stack on the right side. The eaves are adorned with modillion brackets. The facade is made of painted stucco, showcasing long and short angle quoins, a moulded plinth, and hornless 12-pane sash windows that have stucco keystones. A date of 1841 is inscribed on the central keystone.

The entrance boasts a fine wooden doorcase supported by two slender fluted Doric columns, which hold up a triglyph entablature and a dentilled open pediment with a panelled soffit, above an arched doorway. The doorway features panelled reveals and a matching six-panel door, which includes two flush panels and four fielded panels with planted borders and curved rebates at the angles. This detailing is echoed on the reveals. Above the door is a fanlight with radiating bars and a coloured glass outer margin.

The left side of the building has a painted stucco finish with angle quoins and a plinth similar to the front. There is a small nine-pane attic window on the left. The ground floor includes a nine-pane hornless sash window with a keystone to the left of the arched doorway, which has a recessed six-panel door with a fanlight and a 20th-century gabled hood on console brackets. The right side, visible over No 21, is similar but remains blank.

At the rear, the building is also stuccoed and features 12-pane hornless sash windows along with an arched central door that has a smaller 12-pane sash above it. There are two 20th-century lead-clad dormer windows in the attic, each with double four-pane casements, and two small skylights positioned between them.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted that there are panelled shutters upstairs.
