Churchill Hotel, 3 Llandaff Place

The Churchill Hotel, located at 3 Llandaff Place, is part of a pair of semi-detached Italianate houses, originally built as grand residences in the 19th century. The exterior is entirely rendered and painted, featuring horizontal rustication and quoins on the ground floor, while the upper sections are smooth with some decorative elements. The buildings have Welsh slate roofs and are three storeys high with a semi-basement, each having considerable rear wings, some of which were extended in the 20th century.

Each house is designed with two bays, including a narrow outer bay for the entrances and a wider central bay for the main rooms. The front features steps leading up to a pierced balustraded wall, with porches supported by square columns and semi-circular keyed heads. Each porch has sidelights and a panelled door topped with a fanlight. The central bay displays a three-window canted bay, above which is a window with three tall lights featuring arched heads, set within a slight projection adorned with a dentil cornice. Above this, there is a single window with a bracketed head. All windows are large plate glass sashes. The outer bay includes a French window with a bracketed head that opens onto a balcony over the porch, although the ironwork is not intact on all houses. Above this bay is another plain sash window. The eaves project on large brackets and are gabled over the main bays, while rendered multi-flued stacks are present. The gabled returns feature one or two windows, similar to the main facade, and the lower three-storey rear wings have smaller windows. The rear elevations are simpler but still include sash windows.

Currently, the house is connected to No. 4 as a hotel, which has led to various alterations in the interior layout and planning, although the first-floor ironwork remains. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
