Description
The Three Cranes Public House is a mid-19th century establishment built from coursed limestone rubble and topped with a Welsh slate roof. It has a T-shaped plan with a central projecting porch that mimics timber framing, situated in the center of a three-bay main block. The building stands two storeys high and features bargeboards adorned with moulded lozenge decoration.
On the eastern elevation, the porch includes a first-floor two-light casement window with a mullion and a high-level transom. The ground floor is open-sided, supported by rectangular piers, which are adorned with semi-circular arches featuring drop finials. There is a recessed doorway flanked by 20th-century sidelights. The first floor has three three-light casement windows with lattice leading, while the ground floor also features three-light casements with lattice leading and high-level transoms. To the right of the porch, there is a lean-to verandah supported by three slim columns, each with small drop finials along the eaves.
