Description

The Oak Hotel and Restaurant is a late 18th-century building that originally comprised two houses. It features a rendered exterior with a parapet that has coping, and a double Roman tile roof with a coped verge on the right side. There is a central fire-break wall extending to the roof and the left side, along with three brick ridge stacks. The building's frontage is divided into two sections, with two bays on the left and three bays on the right. It has 16-pane sash windows, with the windows on the right half of the ground floor paired and separated by a wooden dividing mullion. There are two door openings with six-panelled doors, blocked fanlights, and open triangular pediments supported by brackets, one of which has been renewed. The building also has a return to St Aarys Street.
