Description
The Moorlands Hotel is a public house designed in the Flemish Renaissance style, built in 1896. It stands two storeys high with attics, constructed from Pennant stone with freestone dressings, and features painted cornices and banding. The roof is slate, with brick chimneys that have stone cornices.
The building has a prominent central corner bay that rises to three storeys and is topped with a pavilion roof. This bay features a strapwork frieze displaying the date "1896" and a three-light window at the top level. Below this, there is a two-storey bowed bay window with mullion and transom windows, accented by low-relief banding that includes the inscription "Moorlands Hotel." To the left of the centre, there are four windows, with two gabled dormer windows at the attic level. The first-floor windows are grouped in pairs within architraves, each topped with small pediments and relief aprons. The ground floor features a round-arched doorway with keystones and a glazed overlight, alongside three sash windows in architraves with keystones.
The left end bay is designed as a 'frontispiece' with an elaborate stepped gable in the Flemish Renaissance style, complete with a swan-neck pediment, volutes, urn finials, and relief panels. Flanking pilasters enclose a three-light mullion and transom window at the first floor, while the ground floor has a broad archway that contains a door and windows.
To the right of the central corner bay, there are two first-floor windows, with a single dormer at the attic level. These are paired on the left, while the ground floor features a round-arched window in an architrave with keystones.
The right end bay has a gable similar to that of the left end bay but is broader. It features an elaborate pediment at the first floor, with three windows, the central window flanked by pilasters. On the ground floor, there are two arches; the left arch is treated as a window, while the right archway leads to the rear yard.
