Royal Portland Arms

II

Inn. Mid C19, possibly incorporating some earlier fabric.
Ashlar, slate roofs. A lofty symmetrical frontage set flush
with adjoining buildings, and having two deep gabled wings to
back, cutting into ground slope. Two storeys and attic,
3-windowed. Three gabled dormers immediately above moulded
stone cornice, small plain sashes under raised copings on
kneelers. At first floor a bold oriel to flat roof and on
shaped wooden brackets, large plate glass sasshes, moulded
cornice, and moulded base under skirt; each side a good
12-pane sash in moulded stone architrave and cill band. Ground
floor has large nearly square openings with plate glass under
2-pane upper light, in moulded stone surround with small
keystone. Central panelled C19 door in moulded architrave
under plain transom light, on 2 stone steps. Plinth, band
above door height, entablature and blocking course. To each
gable a large stone stack with capping, coped verges; the roof
surface projects boldly between and at ends of dormers. The
layout and proportions suggest a late C18 front which has been
modified and raised.
