The Leaking Tap

The Leaking Tap is a farmhouse, now an inn, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of painted brick, with a slate roof featuring coped verges, carved stone kneelers, and external end stacks, the right stack tapered to its base. The building follows a "T" shape, with a lower range situated to the rear, which may be slightly later than the main range. The front elevation features two storeys and an attic, with a floor band marking the first floor and a chamfered plinth with a cellar beneath. There are three windows across the front; these contain mid-19th century four-paned sash windows within 18th-century openings, all with gauged heads. Three 19th-century gabled dormers are set into the lower part of the roof slope. A two-storey range, at right angles to the rear, is built of painted red sandstone with a slate roof and an integral end stack. A single-storey outbuilding attached to the left gable end of the main range follows the curve of the road to the south.

The interior of the right-hand ground-floor room displays two chamfered spine beams with plain and chamfered joists.
