Englands Gate Inn

Englands Gate Inn is a public house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. The building is timber-framed with rendered infill, partly roughcast and partly rendered on a sandstone rubble base, along with some sandstone walling. It features machine-tiled and slate roofs, and a large rebuilt brick stack at the rear of the main ridge. The structure has a T-plan layout, with the main range likely consisting of two framed bays aligned east to west. There is an external rubble chimney with a rebuilt detached brick stack at the east end, and a large rubble chimney at the west end next to the cross-wing.

The cross-wing at the west end also has two framed bays and includes a small external chimney at the south gable end, along with a wing of two framed bays adjoining to the northwest. The building is single storey with an attic that has dormers. The framing mainly consists of three rows of panels from the sill to the wall-plate, while the cross-wing has two rows of panels at the first-floor level exposed at the rear. The hall part features a collar and tie-beam truss with two struts and a V-strut in the apex at the east end, and there is a tie-beam truss with decorative latticed struts at the rear of the cross-wing.

On the south front elevation, the main range includes a 20th-century canted bay window with multi-pane casements to the right, and a central gabled dormer with a pair of 2-light casements. The bay window has a lean-to roof that continues above a 20th-century door to the left. To the left of the doorway is a 20th-century single-storey wing with a 4-light casement in its gable end and on its east side, along with a small gabled porch on its east side. At the east end of the main range, a lean-to 20th-century porch adjoins the side of the external chimney. The cross-wing features a 3-light 19th-century casement, an attic light, and a doorway in its gable end. A lean-to addition is attached to the west side at the front, and there is a continuous lean-to timber-framed outshut at the rear of the main range. The interior has been altered but retains some stop-chamfered main ceiling beams and includes a large fireplace at the western end of the main range.
