Description
The Great Western Hotel is a building that has been stuccoed and painted, featuring a natural slate roof and red brick stacks. It has a T-shaped plan, with the head of the T facing the road and the entrance located in the center. The main elevation consists of two storeys and three windows, with an understorey visible on the side. The central bay projects slightly and is supported by two plain pilasters beneath a simple pediment. There is a round-headed doorway with a fanlight; the original flat-topped porch, which was supported by iron columns with an intertwining design, has been replaced by a new porch featuring square ribbed timber piers and a small pediment, although the iron columns may still be present inside. This entrance is flanked by 3-light windows of mid-20th century design, which have replaced the original tripartite sash windows, while above them are plain 6 over 6 pane sashes. The roof has a low pitch and includes pediments on the return gables. The side elevation features 6 over 6 sash windows and a further tripartite sash window on the two-bay rear wing. There are four red brick stacks throughout the building. The rear elevation has not been inspected, and the interior was also not inspected during the resurvey.
