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).

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.
