Description
The Highlander Public House is a public house that was formerly a farmhouse, built in the early 19th century. It features a rendered and painted exterior with painted ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, with a lower addition on the left side. The central entrance has a vertical-panelled door set within an architrave that is topped with a pediment supported by brackets. The original windows are 12-pane sashes in architraves, although the right window on the first floor has been replaced with a 4-pane sash. The roof is gabled with flat coping and end stacks. The lower section to the left includes a door and windows from the 1930s. There is also a flat-roofed extension at the rear, which is not considered of special interest.
