Description
The Boar's Head Hotel is a building constructed with white-painted stucco and features concrete-tile close-eaved roofs. It primarily stands at three storeys, with a fourth storey added to the right end. Originally, it had brick end stacks, but most of these have been removed since 1981. The front elevation consists of nine bays, featuring a plinth and sill bands at the first and second floor levels, along with another sill band under the added storey on the right, which has four bays.
The windows are twelve-pane hornless sash types, with blind windows located in the second, fourth, and seventh bays from the right on the second floor, as well as corresponding bays on the added top floor. On the ground floor, there is a square-headed vehicle entrance with ledged doors in the left bay, followed by two 16-pane sashes that do not align with the three bays above. The fifth bay features a central door beneath a broad late 19th to early 20th-century iron hood, which has glass fascia panels displaying the hotel's name, supported by ornate scrolled cast-iron brackets. The door has nine flush panels. The seventh bay contains a tripartite window with a 4-12-4-pane configuration, and the last two bays to the right have two 12-pane sashes.
The rear of the building is roughcast and includes 20th-century windows, with a gable behind the west range. There is a two-storey southwest rear wing that once housed an assembly room on the first floor. This wing has a roof covered in 20th-century concrete tiles, with brick cladding painted black and some slate hanging on the south gable end. The east elevation features two large sash windows, each four panes wide, on the first floor, along with a six-panelled door and additional sash windows, as well as some later openings on the ground floor.
The ground floor has undergone significant alterations, but it retains an 18th-century rear staircase designed in the early to mid-18th-century London style, complete with turned balusters and a moulded rail with square newels. Former fielded panelled doors have been replaced by fire doors.
