Description
The Old Mint Public House is a house that has been converted into an inn, dating back to the early 16th century. It is constructed of squared coursed lias with sandstone dressings, with some areas patched using Roman bricks. The building features a plinth and coped gables, topped with a plain-tile roof and brick end stacks. It has an L-shaped plan with a gable facing the front and consists of two storeys, plus a cellar and attics.
The façade has a three-window range of three-light mullioned windows with hood moulds and labels on both the ground and first floors, along with a two-light mullioned window in the attic. A 16th-century gabled porch, located in the internal angle, rises to the attic and includes a two-light mullioned window on the first floor, with a worn panel above and a single light in the gable. There is a 20th-century one-storey addition to the porch that features a plank door within a Tudor-arched surround. Another doorway in the original porch has a part-renewed chamfered surround and a renewed Tudor-arched head. The left side and rear of the building have additional mullioned windows and single-chamfered lights, along with a 16th-century Tudor-arched doorway at the rear and another in the front within the original porch.
Inside, the ground floor room at the rear has heavy stop-chamfered spine beams, which are also said to be present in the first-floor rooms. There is a 17th-century open-well staircase that leads to the attics, featuring moulded strings, large turned balusters, moulded handrails with pendants, and a panelled newel-post topped with ball finials.
