Public house. Probably C18,
remodelled in circa early C19. Rendered stone rubble; slate hipped roof with
red clay ridge tiles and deep eaves at the front. Two lateral stacks at the
back, one has been truncated below the roof, the other at the left hand end
has late C19 brick shaft. Plan: Situated at right angle to the road.
L-shaped plan originally with 3 rooms in the front range and an entrance to
the right of centre. The centre and right hand rooms were heated from
lateral stacks at the back and the left hand room has a stack at the left
hand end. There is a service wing at
the rear of the left hand end and a large outshut in the angle behind the
main range with a wide doorway onto the road; this is said to have been the
farrier's shop. The ground floor partitions in the front range have been
removed and it is now one large room (bar). Exterior: 2 storeys. 1:3 window

doorway which has a round head, semi-circular fanlight and a C20 panelled
door. All the corridors are C19 12-pane sashes. Similar sash on the ground
and first floor of the right hand gable end facing the road. At the back
there is a hipped roof wing and a large outshut with a lean-to slate roof
and a wide doorway in the end onto the road. Interior: Only the ground floor
of the front range was inspected. the
partitions have been removed to form one large room, the bar of the public
house. There are no visible early features in this part and the fireplaces
have been blocked. |
