Public house. c1800. Painted ashlar, stone roof with coped gable ends and end stacks. Plain stone eaves course. 2 storeys and attic. 3 windows wide. Sashes with glazing bars, ground floor altered to modern casements. Central stone doorway with pilasters and entablature and large overlight with glazing bars. Round-headed attic windows in gable ends. To left, set back, former stables: painted dressed stone, stone roof with coped gable end, 2 storeys, 3 bays, 1st-floor segmental-headed openings boarded up, ground-floor round-headed doorway and round-arched window each side with continuous impost band. All windows have large plain stone sills. Rear: the steep ground slope resulted in the building being constructed over approx 6 round arches, some forming the cellars. A straight flight of stone steps at left end gave access to the front ground floor. Plain surrounds to wide doorway far right (below former stables and probably providing more stalls); the main block has a narrow entrance left, and wide doorway right (access to cellars); 3 arched recesses left have pins for external hinges, suggesting use as separate store-rooms or cart shelters. INTERIOR: replanned and refitted late C20.
