Description
The Black Swan Public House and the attached L-shaped range of outbuildings to the northeast date from the late 18th century, with the street frontage redesigned around 1900. The building is constructed from coursed squared rubble gritstone, featuring ashlar dressings, plain gables, and end ridge stacks with corbelled caps on the street elevation. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and concrete tiles. The house and outbuildings are arranged around a small courtyard.
The main range, facing the street, is two storeys high and consists of four bays, with a single-storey advanced bay at the north end. The three bays rise from a chamfered plinth and include three canted bay windows with glazing bar sash windows. Above these, there is a tiled continuous canopy that steps up into a gable above an off-centre doorway. This doorway has a moulded surround with a segmental arched head, a panelled door, and two glazing bar sashes, along with a 2-light casement set within thin sectioned imitation half-timbering on the first floor. The single-storey advanced bay at the north end has a blank rendered front.
The L-shaped range of outbuildings at the north end is two storeys high and has three bays. It features three doorways with massive jambs and lintels, two of which are coupled at the west end. There is also a tall cart entry with a depressed segmental arch and a keyblock, flanked by doors to the east. Additionally, there is a blocked stone-framed window and a doorway with a quoined surround. On the first floor, there are two 2-light flush mullioned windows with sash frames and a 2-light glazing bar horizontal sash in a plain surround. The east outbuilding is single storey, with a plain doorway and an opening to the south, which may have served as a feeding trough.
