Description

Moor Park Hotel is a public house built around 1830 and has been altered since its construction. It is made of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The building has a rectangular double-depth plan and features a simple classical style. It stands two storeys high over cellars, with a symmetrical three-window facade that includes a stone plinth, stone frieze, cornice, and blocking course, topped by a hipped roof with two chimney stacks behind the ridge.

The central doorway is framed by a large tetrastyle Ionic doorcase made up of engaged columns, with short cast-iron railings linking each pair. The doorcase has a deep frieze and moulded cornice, with large modern lettering reading "MOOR PARK" attached to the frieze. The doorway contains a recessed panelled door with an overlight. The ground floor windows are sashed without glazing bars, featuring raised sills and wedge lintels, while the first-floor windows are four-pane sashes with raised sills.

On the left return wall, there is a doorway with a stone surround and one window on each floor with altered glazing. The right-hand return wall has two sashed windows at ground floor and one above. The rear of the building is rendered, and there is a 20th-century addition at ground floor. The interior has been altered. Historically, the hotel is likely associated with the cattle market that was located on the opposite side of the road in the early 19th century.
