Description
The Temperance is a house that was formerly an inn and temperance hotel, built around 1840. It is constructed from snecked rubble with tooled-and-margined ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and two broad bays, each with 2-light mullioned windows that hold 6-pane casements. The corners of the building have alternating quoins. The roof is gabled, with kneelers, flat coping, ball finials, and one small ridge stack. There is a doorway on the left side, which is set in a stone gabled porch that also has kneelers and ridged coping.
