Description

The Royal Oak Hotel, located at 34 Seatown in Cullen, was built in 1894. It is a single-storey building with an attic, featuring two 3-bay dwellings that have a long frontage facing Castle Terrace, along with an additional irregular 3-bay range on the west side. The exterior is harled, with contrasting painted concrete dressings that include long and short detailing. The entrance is off-centre on the Castle Terrace side, with another entrance on the west elevation. The windows are mainly bipartite, with chamfered margins on all openings. The building has single and bipartite gabled dormers that break the wallhead, and the glazing is primarily 2-pane. It features coped end and ridge stacks, slate roofs, decorative pottery ridges, and decorative cast-iron apex finials on the dormers.
