House Belonging To Mrs Armstrong The Old Surgery

This building, known as the house belonging to Mrs. Armstrong and The Old Surgery, is a pair of houses that were formerly the Sun Inn. It dates from the early 18th century, with a rear extension added in the early 19th century. The front wall is rendered to imitate coursed stone and is built on brick, featuring cut stone dressings. The other walls are made of coursed stone, topped with a blue slate roof. The structure has two storeys and consists of three bays on the left and four on the right. It has rusticated quoins and bands at window-head level, with three short pilasters above the upper band.

The left part of the building is symmetrical, featuring a central four-panel door with a plain overlight, set in a 19th-century surround with pilasters and a moulded cornice. All windows are 8-pane sashes, except for a plain sash in a widened opening on the ground floor to the left, which has raised stone surrounds. The irregular right part includes a four-panel door in a corniced raised stone surround located in the third bay, with similar window styles. The doorway and flanking windows were renewed around 1962 after the removal of a 19th-century shopfront. The building has coped gables with moulded kneelers, and stepped-and-corniced ridge and end stacks with panelled shafts. The rear elevation features a four-panel door with a radial fanlight and an arched stair window, while a wing to the rear left shows 19th-century fenestration.

Inside, the left part includes a room to the left of the entrance that was formerly a bank, featuring a heavy studded door. The room to the right of the entrance has an 18th-century corner cupboard known as The Angel Cupboard, adorned with painted cherubs in the spandrels of its truncated-arched head, along with fielded-panel shutters. The staircase against the rear wall of the extension has stick balusters, a wreathed moulded handrail, a curtail step, a carved newel, and shaped tread ends. The first-floor doors are two-panel doors on H hinges.
