Hotel with Old English-style influence, asymmetrical in form, but with a symmetrical front façade. Of 2 storeys and attics, constructed of red brick with partial timber-framing to front, under hipped red-tiled roofs with ribbed brick stacks. Three-bay front with advanced gabled bays flanking entrance. The gabled bays are timber-framed to the 1st and attic storeys, the gables with waved diagonal struts, slightly jettied on brackets. The central bay has overhanging eaves, projecting down over a 1st floor balcony and supported on 2 turned and decorated timber posts; these have braces to upper angles forming arches. Timber balustrading to balcony front. The balcony forms a porch over the entrance and is supported on 2 turned timber posts, aligned with those above. The entrance contains half-glazed double panelled doors, including original frosted glass, with large-pane overlight and side-lights. To ground floor of outer bays, large transomed 4-light wooden windows, the lights arched and with original frosted glass; that to L reads 'coffee room', that to R, 'committee room'. Returns of these gabled bays have single lights, all the lights linked by a continuous stone sill band. To the 1st floor and attic, the openings have small-pane glazing. The balcony is reached from a half-glazed panelled door with side-lights. Above is a flat-roofed attic dormer with 4-light casement. The outer gabled bays have 3-light wooden casements to 1st and attic storeys, the 1st floor with tall 2-light casements to outer returns. The roof is hipped to R with stack to pitch, but to L it is stepped and hipped with an end stack; this end is abutted by further buildings.

The E end is prominent as the building occupies a corner site. It is asymmetrical, 3-window, of brick with end stack to R and segmental brick heads to openings. Central inset doorway containing part-glazed panelled door, flanked by large transomed 3-light wooden windows. Moulded brick string course to 1st floor, which has irregular 3-light small-pane wooden casements. The attic has 2 dormers with similar casements, a raked half-dormer to centre, and a hipped-roofed dormer to the R. Adjoining the R end is a lower 2-storey unit, the brickwork continuous. It has 2 single lights to 1st floor over a 3-light window. Its gable end has a 1st floor fire-escape door offset to R, small brick addition below. To the R, the rear elevation has flat-roofed blocks to ground floor; towards centre, gabled attic dormer containing 3-light small-pane casement, over a further casement. To the R is a wide gabled wing with 2 large transomed 3-light windows to 1st floor (that to L including a narrow door) and a 4-light small-pane casement to attic.
