The Deer Park Hotel

The Deer Park Hotel is a hotel dating to around the late 18th or early 19th century, and may represent a remodelling of an earlier building. The exterior is colourwashed and rendered with a slate roof hidden behind a front parapet. The building has stacks with rendered shafts and grouped chimney pots. It is built on a long rectangular plan, with the principal rooms facing a garden to the south, a front door on the east elevation, and service rooms to the north.

The symmetrical, seven-bay south garden elevation features two-storey bows to the left and right, each of three bays. A deep moulded cornice sits below the parapet, with a platband at first floor level. The center bay of the south elevation has a likely late 19th or 20th century transomed French window with glazing bars in a round-headed recess; the other windows appear original, including a 12-pane sash with shutters to the first floor centre and larger similar sashes to the bows. The west (entrance) elevation contains a mix of late 18th or early 19th century sash windows with small panes, some tripartite, and a platband. A service wing is set slightly back to the right.

An internal porch projects in two storeys with a pediment, featuring an outer doorway flanked by paired columns with an entablature. The outer doorway has a two-leaf glazed inner front door with flanking glazed panels and a round-headed fanlight with spoke glazing bars. The west elevation features late 18th or early 19th century sash windows with small panes and shutters; two ground floor canted bays are likely late 19th or 20th century, with high transomed French windows with glazing bars. Adjacent to the west elevation is a probable Edwardian conservatory with a brick base and transomed lights with round-headed arches and keyblocks.

The interior, though not thoroughly inspected, retains good mahogany doors, cornices, Adam style fireplaces, and a late 18th or early 19th century staircase with turned balusters. Historical records suggest that Polwhele referred to a "noted park" at Buckerell, and Deer Park may have been the ancient lodge.
