Description

Taverners is a cottage that was formerly a public house, dating from the 16th century or earlier. It features a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a hipped thatched roof, along with a 19th-century slate-clad gable end wing on the left. The building has two storeys and includes various small-paned casement windows, as well as a bow window on the ground floor of the 19th-century wing. There is a boarded door with a flat canopy supported by brackets, and a plain door leading to the 19th-century wing. A small area of weatherboarding remains visible. The cottage is also adorned with two square red brick chimney stacks and has an inserted floor.
