Churchill Hotel, 4 Llandaff Place

The Churchill Hotel, located at 4 Llandaff Place, is part of a pair of Italianate semi-detached houses, originally built as grand residences in the 19th century. The exterior is entirely rendered and painted, featuring horizontal rustication and quoins at the ground floor, with a smoother finish and some decorative elements above. The roofs are made of Welsh slate.

Each house stands three storeys tall with a semi-basement and includes substantial rear wings, some of which have been extended in the 20th century. The design consists of two bays, with a narrow bay on the outside 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.

Prominent architectural features include a three-window canted bay in the center, above which is a window with three tall lights and arched heads, set within a slight projection that has a dentil cornice above. There is also a single window with a bracketed head above this. All windows are large plate glass sashes. The outer bay contains 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 is another plain sash window.

The eaves project on large brackets, and the main bays are gabled. The building has rendered multi-flued stacks and two gabled returns, each with one or two windows similar to those on the front. The rear elevations are simpler but still feature sash windows.

Currently, the house is connected with No. 3 as part of the hotel, which has led to various alterations in the interior to accommodate hotel use. The first-floor ironwork has been retained despite these changes. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
