Description

Brewery House is a former house that has been converted into a restaurant and betting shop. It is dated 1767 on the door lintel. The building features painted roughcast brick, an artificial slate roof, and a rebuilt brick chimney stack. It is two storeys high and has four bays. The entrance is off-centre, with a door that has six flush panels set in a wide stone doorway, which includes an architrave, a dated lintel, and a cornice hood supported by enriched consoles. To the right of the entrance are two replaced 12-pane sash windows, while to the left is a canted 19th-century bay window, which has a replaced door and flanking 8-pane sashes. There is a sill band and additional 12-pane sashes on the first floor. The roof is steeply pitched with slightly-swept eaves and a chimney stack at the right end. To the left, there is a late 19th-century extension with a different roof pitch, featuring a two-storey square bay window and a narrow glazing bar sash on the upper floor. On the right, there is a 20th-century extension in a similar style, which includes a stone doorway and a canted bay window with three 12-pane sashes above.
