Description
The Star Public House is a three-storey building constructed of red brick with stone dressings, which is now painted. It has a slate roof. The entrance is located at the northern angle and features a projecting bay window on the first floor that acts as a canopy for the double panelled doors on the ground floor, supported by corbels and iron columns. The elevation facing Commercial Road consists of four bays, with a gable in the third bay, highlighted by an arched opening on the ground floor. Above this, there is a canted oriel window on the first floor and a pedimented window beneath the gable, topped with a terminal block carved with a star motif on each face. The ground floor has triple arch-headed windows. The southern end has been altered with a modern shop front, while the first floor features paired arch-headed windows with surrounds and a cornice. The second floor windows have a wide architrave. Above the door bay, there is an inscription on an inset painted curved face that reads "STAR HOTEL 1901."
