Description
The Woolpack Inn is an inn, dated 1841 in the pediment, now functioning as a public house. It is constructed of dressed sandstone with a stone slate roof and features various chimneys. The building has a rectangular double-depth five-bay plan and stands two storeys high in a classical style.
The façade includes corner pilasters, a plain frieze, and a moulded gutter cornice. The central three bays project slightly and feature a recessed doorway on the right, which is protected by a large moulded cornice supported by moulded consoles. On the left side, there is a similarly styled opening that has been altered into a window. Between these openings are coupled vertical rectangular windows with a hoodmould. The first floor has three vertical rectangular windows, all slightly offset to the left, with moulded consoles at each end of the pediment. The pediment itself contains an empty recessed square panel with a sill and raised lettering above that reads: J.W AD 1841.
To the left, the first bay has one window on each floor, while the fifth bay on the right has coupled ground floor windows with a hoodmould and another window above. The rear wall is of less interest, and the interior has been altered.
