Description
The Roebuck Inn is a house that has been used as an inn for a long time, dated 1626. It is timber-framed and has a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front featuring two main gables and a narrow storeyed wing on the left, which may have originally been a porch.
On the ground floor, there is an 18th-century doorway with an overlight to the right of the advanced wing. The windows on the ground floor were largely renewed in the early 20th century and include wide public house windows with two and three lights. Above, the two gables are irregularly framed with moulded principal posts between the windows. There are three existing casement windows, and the window in the right-hand gable may have once been wider. There are traces of a former window that has been blocked to the right of the existing window in the left-hand gable, which has the date AD MDCXXVI on the cill.
The building features close studding beneath the windows and jettied gables with heavy framing and decorative panelling beneath possible blocked windows. The gables have barge-boards with finials. The left-hand gable is advanced, framed with close studding and a middle rail, and has a five-light mullioned and transomed window that forms a continuous band at the first floor. There is arcaded panelling beneath the windows, and the date is also noted on the cill. An inserted stack is located towards the front of this gable, with additional stacks on the other end wall and axial stacks.
At the rear, there is a wing that is a somewhat later addition, made of coursed and squared sandstone, with mainly renewed windows. Inside, the principal room features plaster moulding on the beams, likely from the early 19th century, and the wall panelling is probably not in its original location.
