Description
The Ram Inn is an inn that has been converted into a public house with a flat, originally established in 1621 and rebuilt in the mid-19th century. The building features a colourwashed brick front above a stuccoed ground floor, with a yellow stock brick left flank and a plastered and stuccoed rear elevation. It has a Welsh slated roof with broad eaves supported by shallow brackets arranged in groups of three and four.
The exterior consists of three storeys at the front and two at the rear, with a four-bay front that includes a carriageway on the left side, divided by pilasters. The first floor showcases alternating recessed 16-pane and triple 4:12:4-pane sash windows, all set beneath rubbed brick flat arches. A fascia and cornice band runs along the second-floor level, where squat 8-pane sashes alternate with triple 19th-century sashes that have been adapted with opening casements. The centre bay features a recessed panel with a modelled ram's head and an inscription above stating 'Established 1621'.
The ground floor is finished in rusticated stucco, with a central doorway that has a recessed eight-panel door, two of which are glazed, set above a stone step and framed by a pilaster surround and a flat bracketed cornice hood. To the left, there is a large 19th-century mullion and transom window, and to the right, a 12-pane recessed sash window sits beneath a channelled stucco lintel and keyblock. The building has a full-width stucco plinth.
The rear elevation includes three 12-pane sashes and a late 20th-century external entrance to the manager's flat on the first floor. The ground floor features a large late 19th-century bay, which is stuccoed and adorned with a dentil frieze, a moulded cornice, and a blocking course, along with mullion and transom casements that have glazing bars.
Inside, the pub has 19th-century bar counters and dados, although the interior of the flat has not been inspected.
