Description

This former inn, now a house, dates primarily to the early 18th century, with alterations in the 19th century, and may incorporate elements of an earlier building. It is constructed of painted rubble with a large, irregular plinth and ashlar dressings, and has stone-flagged roofs with stone and brick chimneys. The building is arranged in an L-shape, consisting of two builds of five bays each. The first three bays on the left have a flat stone lintel and prominent alternate-block jambs to the centrally located renewed entrance door. Plain sash windows in the outer bays are similarly treated, with flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The lower, slightly set-back two bays on the right have flat stone lintels to two irregularly placed windows, one with a thin sill and one with a projecting stone sill. The first floor of this section is blank, with through stones at floor level and just above. There are three ridge chimneys and one on the rear wing. A one-storey, one-bay rear extension, under a catslide roof, adjoins the first build, and a rear door to the second build is set within a wide stone surround. The left return gable has a massive squared boulder plinth and one plain sash window. The left rear wing has a partly-glazed 6-panel door in a wide stone surround, and flat stone lintels and sills to a late 19th-century sash window and a small fixed light on the ground floor, and to a horizontal sliding sash window on the first floor.

Inside, wide horizontal planks screen the space below the central staircase. A boarded screen passage is situated on the right of the staircase, leading to a room with large beams featuring run-off chamfers and joists with slightly-stepped chamfer-stops. Some walls measure approximately one metre in thickness. A blocked door is located in the right gable between the first and second builds. The roof structure comprises pegged A trusses, with principals thicker on the inner edge towards the feet.
