Description
The Hope Inn is a public house, likely built in the mid-18th century, with some alterations and changes to the windows made in the early 20th century. It features painted, pebble-dashed walls and a French-tiled roof with brick chimneys. The building has two storeys and four windows.
On the ground floor, there are five openings, including a late 19th-century four-panel door with a margined overlight, set within a swept architrave and topped by an early 20th-century shell hood supported by scrolled brackets in the fourth bay. The left bay has a tripartite window with four-pane upper sashes, pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. The other bays contain three shallow, canted bay windows with three and four lights, featuring similar architectural details.
The first-floor windows are casements with metal glazing bars and smaller side-hung opening sections. The steeply-pitched roof has one ridge chimney and two end chimneys with slightly projecting external gable stacks. There are 20th-century rear additions that are not of special interest. The building is included for its group value.
