The Royal Goat Hotel

Plain, largely modernised interiors.

Large hotel complex of roughly T-plan. Of rubble construction with hipped slate roofs and with the main, front-facing elevations stuccoed. The complex consists of a main 4-storey 4-bay section with an L-shaped 3-storey section adjoining to the L and projecting to the front; the latter has 3 bays to its advanced section, with the entrance to the R. This has a large decorative fanlight and partly-glazed late C19 double doors contained within a large single-storey modern porch, open to the front. 12-pane original recessed sash windows to the L and upper floors, save to the centre where the windows are blind; plain stringcourses between the floors, returned around onto the sides. The attic has 2 lead dormers with modern tilting windows to the front and L return of this entrance block. The 4-storey section, set back to the R, has windows as before to all save the ground floor where there is a 4-bay modern projecting arcade with enclosed verandah; the end bay to the R has a square projecting porch. The unstuccoed rear wing, recessed to the L of the entrance section, has windows as before with slate lintels. On its hipped return there is a 2-storey canted bay window with marginally-glazed sash windows, a later C19 alteration. Largely modern openings to the rear with a single-storey modern addition extruded in the space formerly occupied by the service court. Adjoining to the rear is a 2-storey slated former coach house, much altered.
