CUMBERLAND ARMS HOTEL - Physical Description 1
The Cumberland Arms Hotel is a two storey red brick building. The first floor facade comprises a series of six pairs of windows, alternatively rectangular and arched. Towards the centre of the facade a rectangular brick tower with a pyramidal slate roof topped with a delicate iron finial rises from a polygonal tripartite oriel window. The arched window pairs have moulded heads and keystones. Triangular pediments, decorated with horseshoe arched infilled with a pilaster pair surrounded by pyramid-faced brickwork, sit above the rectangular windows, which are framed by pilasters which rise through the frieze to flank the remainder of the parapet, which is balustraded. The rectangular windows have six-paned highlights; some of the original casement sashes remain. The northernmost bay of the facade extends over the former Martins Lane, which now provided access to the hotel's car park.
The ground floor has been completely altered. The face brickwork has been painted, and none of the original ornamentation exists. A cantilevered verandah (c. 1950s) has been added.
