The Rake Inn

The Rake Inn is a former public house dating back to 1690, as indicated by the inscription on the door surround, although it has undergone later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a slate roof. It has a T-shaped plan with four bays and two storeys, and includes quoins.

The original part of the house, which consists of bays 2 and 3, has a door with a moulded surround and a shouldered lintel, or quasi-arch, along with a 20th-century porch. This section is flanked by four-light double-chamfered windows on both floors, with the ground floor windows having been increased in height and featuring hoodmoulds. Bay 1 includes a three and four-light window and a door with a dressed surround. Bay 4, at the head of the T, has a canted bay window and a small light on the upper floor with an arched lintel. The building has coped gables, while the right return is rendered. The rear of the building is largely obscured by later lean-to extensions, but retains two, three, and four-light mullioned windows. It features ridge and gable chimney stacks.

Inside, the property has chamfered beams and a fireplace with a cyma-moulded surround and a segmental arch with a dropped keystone.
