Description
Angel House, located at No. 13 Elton Middle Street, is a house that was formerly an inn. It dates from around 1703, as indicated by a dated chimney stack, and has undergone early 20th-century alterations and additions. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with freestone dressings and features a thatched roof with parapet gables that have chamfered copings and shaped corbels. There are gable end stacks with moulded cornices, while the central stack has been reduced and plastered.
The house is two storeys high with an attic and has a two-unit plan with a lobby entry, along with an early 20th-century rear wing. The symmetrical facade includes a boarded door with a flat canopy supported by shaped brackets. There are two flanking three-light casement windows with ovolo mullions and moulded cornices, two similar, smaller first-floor windows, and one central single light window.
Inside, the house features mitre-stop-chamfered axial and cross beams, and there are open hearths in both the west and east rooms, each with cambered mantel beams. The house was recorded as an inn in 1820, and the erratic stones beside the entrance are said to have been used as mounting blocks.
