Former station hotel/tavern. c1841, probably by I.K. Brunel for the Great Western Railway. Painted red brick with stone dressings. Slated roofs with 2 steeply pitched gables, having projecting eaves and bargeboards, to each facade; tall brick chimney stacks, 2 rising from ground floor through gables. Square plan with 2 bays to each facade. 2 storeys and attic. Main facade symmetrical with Tudor-arched entrance flanked by transom and mullion windows to ground and 1st floor; narrow vertically set window above entrance. Similar narrow windows to attic. Other facades in similar style with half glazed doors having intersecting tracery to glazing bars in Tudor arched doorways; platform elevation has remains of a canopy flanked by 2 canted bay windows. Interior retains staircase with turned newels and original panelled doors. This building is an early example of a station hotel; the platform, with only a simple shelter, was reached at the end of a sloping drive. It was originally named Wallingford Road, being-renamed Moulsford station in 1866 after the opening of the Wallingford Branch Line.
