Description
Ye Olde Leathern Bottle Public House is a public house dating from the 17th century, which was remodeled in the early 19th century. It originally featured a timber frame, with a stucco front, colorwashed brick to the right, and timber framing to the left. The building has a gabled Welsh slate roof and a brick ridge stack. It has a two-unit lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys tall with a two-window range. The front includes canted bays with sash windows, and there is a 20th-century door to the right. On the first floor, there is a two-light casement window to the left and a horizontal sliding sash window to the right. At the rear, there is a stair turret flanked by an outshut and a two-storey bay made of colorwashed brick. To the left of the front, there is a double-gabled two-storey rendered range with an M-shaped Welsh slate roof, a brick end stack, and cast-iron post supports that cantilever the first-floor front. Inside, there are chamfered and stop-chamfered beams. The first floor has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
