Appraisal
The Country Arms Hotel was built as Moor Park House, a large country house. Though the building has been altered over time the original composition and form may still be seen. Of note are the remaining hornless six-over-six timber sash windows, the full-height bowed bays to the side elevations as well as the handsome walled garden to the rear.
