Boat Yard House

Boat Yard House is a former inn that has been converted into a house, dating from around 1800. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a two-cell central-entry plan with a double-depth layout and a rear outshut.

The entrance doorway is notable for its deep monolithic lintel, which bears a much-faded painted inscription that reads, "L.H.H. WHITH(S)RY LICENSED To Sell Coffee & Rum," although the inscription is very indistinct and may be interpreted differently. Above the doorway is a blind window with a lintel and a projecting sill. On either side of the doorway, there are windows on each floor that have deep lintels and sills, with casement glazing. The gable ends feature brick stacks.

At the rear, the roof is lower than at the front, and there is a blocked doorway to the left of a window, along with two first-floor doorways, one of which provides light to the stair. The left-hand return has a low-level window, which was formerly barred, to light a partially-sunken cellar, and there is a window above that matches the front. A 20th-century brick lean-to and storm porch have been added to the right of the smaller window, which has a wooden lintel.

Inside, the entrance hall features a dog-leg stone stair at the rear, which has simple stick balusters. The cellar includes a recessed area that may have been used for storing barrels.

Boat Yard House is situated near one of the canal boat building yards and served as a stopping point for bargees.
