Description
The Packet Boat Hotel is a public house built in the early 19th century. It features a rendered rubble exterior and a slate roof, standing two storeys tall. The facade facing Main Road has an earlier, taller section on the right, which consists of two bays with plain stone window surrounds and chimney stacks at the ends. The left-hand section has one plain stone window surround on the ground floor to the right, two similar surrounds on the first floor, and a chimney stack on the left gable. The right-hand gable of the building faces down Main Road and includes chamfered quoins, a plain stone door surround to the right, a plain stone window surround to the left, and two similar surrounds on the first floor. Later extensions facing Packet Lane are not included in the listing. The building is noted for its group value.
