Description

The Plough House is a pair of two-storey houses, originally dating from the 18th century and now combined into a single dwelling. The roof was raised at a later date, and there have been 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a slate roof, and brick stacks are located at one end and internally. It follows a long rectangular plan, originally comprising two properties, each with a two-unit layout. The 5-window front has a centrally-positioned 20th-century door with a hood. This entrance is flanked by a 2-light and a 3-light metal casement window, both set within wooden frames. All windows have chamfered wooden lintels and wrought-iron casement fasteners. A 20th-century window, along with a 2-light metal casement in a wooden frame, has been inserted into the opening of a former doorway on the left side. The windows all feature wooden lintels, wrought-iron fasteners and latches. The building was formerly known as The Plough Inn, which was documented in 1784. The interior has not been inspected. The property is included on the list for its group value.
