Description

The Bay Horse is an inn that dates back to the 18th century and was extended in the early 19th century, with 20th-century alterations to the rear. It is constructed from roughly-dressed stone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has an irregular plan and stands two storeys tall.

The left section of the inn is a two-bay 18th-century part, while the central section is a large three-bay projection, likely also from the 18th century but re-roofed in the 19th century. To the right, there is a cross-gabled range that was formerly a stable but is now part of the inn.

There is a doorway made of early 20th-century extruded stone, with a porch situated between the left and central sections. The windows include 12- and 16-pane sashes, some of which are set in raised surrounds. To the right, there are outside stone steps leading to a boarded door.

The left section features 18th-century kneelers and a banded end stack, while the central section has a steeply-pitched roof with reverse-stepped gables, along with 18th-century kneelers and a massive central stack. The building is included for its group value.
