Abbey Park Hotel

The Abbey Park Hotel comprises two former houses, dating to 1831-32 and designed by Peter Atkinson for Alderman William Dunsley. The building is constructed of brick with painted stone dressings and a slate roof.

The main facade to The Mount has three bays, displaying a painted stone plinth, a cornice below the attic windows, and a gutter cornice. The windows are glazing bar sashes with painted lintels. A central window on the ground floor is a restoration, replacing what was formerly a doorway, according to an RCHM photograph. A chimney is situated to the right. An adjoining former house, also part of the hotel, is lower in height with three storeys and two bays. The ground floor has 20th-century polished stone cladding and a glazed entrance, while the upper storeys feature glazing bar sashes with painted rusticated lintels adorned with leaf patterns on their keystones. Further 20th-century additions are located to the right.

The left-hand return wall of No.77, facing Park Street, mirrors the detail of the three bays facing The Mount. The return wall features four bays, plus a blank right-hand bay with a ground-floor window. The windows are glazing bar sashes, except for the two centre-pivoted attic windows. One window, positioned fourth from the left on the second floor, is a blind glazing bar sash. Painted stone or stucco lintels appear only above the windows of the third and fourth bays, above a wide entrance. This entrance is framed by two engaged Greek Doric columns in antis with fluted necking, a plain frieze and cornice, and flanking lights. The glazed door is a 20th-century addition. Adjoining this section is a three-bay, 20th-century extension built in a matching style.

The interior of the building was not inspected, but records indicate the presence of an Italian marble fireplace in the drawing room and a black Kendal marble fireplace in the dining room. No.79 is included in the list for the first time.
