Description

The Rose and Crown Hotel is an informally terraced house that has been converted into an inn. It features painted stucco with a slate gabled roof, which is lower at the ridge and eaves compared to No 116, but higher than No 118. The building has brick end stacks, with the left stack being narrow and the right stack square, which appears to be shared with No 116. It is three storeys high and has a three-window range that is offset to the left. The windows are set in stucco architraves with sill brackets and feature horned sashes with lateral glazing bars: three on the top floor and two on the first floor, along with a windowless bay. On the ground floor, the original sashes have been replaced by a 20th-century 28-pane window with top opening lights. The central doorway, which is positioned further to the left than the corresponding top floor window, features fluted pilasters and a moulded cornice supported by paired consoles, all beneath a 20th-century wooden hood with a scalloped fascia that displays the word 'hotel'. The building has a raised plinth and a 20th-century metal-bracketed inn sign.

At the rear, there is a gable with a truncated external stack, alongside a near-detached rubble-stone building with a close-eaved roof. This rear building has two first-floor four-pane sashes with brick heads and a whitewashed ground floor that includes a small window left of centre. There is also a red brick north stack.

Inside, the entrance hall features a round arch that springs from one console and a second depressed arch. The staircase has stick balusters, which are partially boarded over, and slender turned newels. The roof is supported by pegged oak trusses.
