Description

The Traveller's Rest Public House is a building that serves as a public house, originally constructed as a house and public house. It consists of two sections, with the right section incorporating an earlier building. The exterior is rendered, and the upper floor of the right section features pebble-dash render within a broadly-spaced timber frame. The roofs are covered with Welsh slate and have brick chimneys. The structure is two storeys high and has two bays for each section.

The left section, which was originally a house, includes a yard entry and a six-panelled door on the left, flanked by pilasters beneath a cornice. It has late 19th-century sash windows in the right bay, and a narrow sash window above paired openings, both with projecting stone sills. The steeply-pitched roof has end chimneys.

The right section, numbered 73, has lower storeys and features a half-glazed double door on the left and a blind door on the right, both framed by slender pilasters that support a fascia end cornice. Above, there is an oriel window and a 19th-century sash window. The building is included for its group value.
