Description
Acton Burnell Stores is a pair of houses that later became an inn and is now used as a house, shop, and tea room. It was built in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick on a coursed rubble plinth, with some parts rendered on the right side, and features plain tile roofs. It has an L-shaped plan with a gabled wing that projects at right angles to the right side. The structure has two storeys and an attic.
Key architectural features include a plinth, a dentil brick eaves cornice made of bricks laid on edge, and a parapeted gable end on the left. There is an off-centre gabled roof dormer on the left with a three-light casement window and a central roof-light. The truncated brick ridge stack is off-centre to the right, and there are external brick end stacks, with the left stack being truncated.
The building has a four-to-one bay arrangement, with glazing bar sash windows that have slightly segmental heads, some of which include horns. There is a blind window on the first floor in the second bay from the left and a ground-floor casement window in the left-hand bay. A half-glazed panelled door is located in the second bay from the left. The right-hand wing features a mid- to late 19th century shop front with a two-light shop window to the right, a half-glazed door to the left, and a pilastered surround.
This building was known as The Stag's Head Inn until the 1870s and was first mentioned in 1823.
