Description

The former Cross Keys Inn is an early 19th-century public house with a large 20th-century extension. It is constructed of dressed stone with a slate roof. The building has a double-depth central-entrance plan and three storeys, with a 20th-century porch and extension to the left. The central entrance is obscured by the porch. A projecting plinth runs along the base. Two bays of slightly differing dates each feature 4, 5, or 7-light windows on each floor, all with recessed flat-faced stone mullions. Three ridge chimney stacks are present. Gable windows with 2 lights and a doorway with a square-cut surround are also visible. To the rear are 4- and 6-light window openings, along with a blocked taking-in door. A small lean-to extension is present.
