Description
The Beeswing is a former inn that has been converted into a shop, dating from the early 19th century. It features fine ashlar stonework and a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and consists of two bays, along with a rounded corner bay.
In the corner bay, there is a rounded boarded door with small glazed panels, topped by a cornice, and a rounded 12-pane sash window on the first floor. To the right, there is a canted bay window with a cornice, which contains 15- and 10-pane fixed lights. A 20th-century glass door is located to the right of this bay, along with two 12-pane sash windows above.
The roof is hipped and has a banded ridge stack. On the left return, there are five 12-pane sash windows.
