The Bear Hotel

The Bear Hotel is a hotel located on High Street in Esher, dating from the early 18th century, with a 19th-century facade. The front is rendered, while the return walls are made of brick, and it has a hipped plain tiled roof that is partially obscured by a moulded parapet. There is a smaller slate roof at the rear, with stacks located to the rear left and two stacks on the left side wing. The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring two flat-roofed dormers.

The windows display mixed styles, with five casements on the first floor and a window on the left end lower section that has a recessed panel above it, set back slightly from the front. On the ground floor, there are glazing bar sash windows, and a central three-light plate glass window is situated under a flat hood supported by brackets, with a pediment or gable above the centre light. To the left, there is a half-glazed door beneath a similar hood, and to the right, another half-glazed door is found within a glazed, pedimented porch on rendered walls. At the rear, there are 19th-century wings added to the outer bays, with three glazing bar sash windows across the centre.
