Description
Two storey with attic. Render and pebbledashed walls, slate roof with dormers. Occupying a corner plot, it has elevations to both Cleveland Road and Lucerne Road. That to Lucerne Road includes a paired doorway, set within a projecting bay with tall window above. This is flanked by a fully glazed one storey bay with round-arched windows. To Cleveland Road there are paired round-arched windows to the ground floor and tripartite windows above. The corner of the building at first floor level is supported on a curved corbel with a slanted corner window at ground floor level below.
Street directories indicate that Cleveland Road was developed in the 1890s; the Cleveland Hotel (as it was then known) is first indicated in the 1896 directory, when there were only 6 other houses on the street. The Hotel was operated at that time by Charles William Tucker. The building is first shown on the 1898 Ordnance Survey (OS) map, and first indicated as a public house in 1910 to 1912.
