II

Hotel. Circa late C18/early C19, possibly a remodelling of an earlier house. Colourwashed and rendered; slate roof, concealed behind a parapet to the front block; stacks with rendered shafts and grouped chimney-pots. Plan: Long rectangular plan on a north/south axis, principal rooms facing the garden at the south end, front door on the east elevation, service rooms to the north. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 7 bay garden (south) elevation with 2-storey bows to left and right, each of 3 bays. Deep moulded cornice below the parapet, platband at first floor level. The centre bay has a transomed, probably late C19 or C20 French window with glazing bars in a round-headed recess, the other windows all appear to be original: a 12-pane sash with shutters to first floor centre, larger similar sashes to the bows. The west (entrance) elevation has a mixture of C18 or C19 sashes with small-panes, some tripartite, and a platband. The service wing, to the right, is slightly set back. Internal porch in a 2-storey projection with a pediment: the outer doorway flanked by paired columns with an entablature; 2-leaf glazed inner front door with flanking glazed panels and a round-headed fanlight with spoke glazing bars. The west elevation has late C18 or early C19 sash windows with small panes and shutters, 2 ground floor canted bays are probably late C19 or C20 with high transomed French windows with glazing bars. At right angles to the west elevation a probably Edwardian conservatory with a brick base and transomed lights with round-headed arches and keyblocks. Interior: Not thoroughly inspected but the principal rooms retain good mahogany doors, cornices, Adam style fireplaces and a late C18/early C19 stair with turned balusters. Polwhele refers to a "noted park" in Buckerell, "of which Deer Park is supposed to have been the ancient lodge", History of Devonshire (p.p. 1793, 1974 edn., vol. II, p. 274.
