Description

The Bull Hotel, located at No. 8 in Olney Market Place, dates from around 1840. It is constructed of painted stucco and features a slate roof. The building has a coped gable on the left side and deep eaves. It stands three storeys tall with raised quoins. The central entrance is a door set in panelled reveals, leading to an open porch supported by Corinthian columns, flanked by two pilasters and topped with an entablature that has a dentilled cornice.

On either side of the entrance, there are canted bay windows. Above, the first floor has paired sash windows, while the centre features a single sash window. The second floor contains three sash windows. To the right, there is a one-window section that is set back, which includes an elliptical carriage arch on the ground floor and a sash window on each of the upper floors, all adorned with flat arches, rusticated voussoirs, and keyblocks.
