Description
The Woolpack Public House is an early 18th-century house, later used as a public house, with a 19th-century bay added to the left and 18th-century extensions to the rear. The front is roughcast over brick, with a Welsh slate roof and a brick stack with a rendered base. Originally a two-unit building, it was later extended to an L-plan layout. The front has two storeys and originally two windows, later extended to three. A coved hood sits over a 20th-century door, adjoining an inserted 20th-century door, both flanked by sash windows in early 18th-century canted bays. A late 19th-century four-light fixed casement adjoins a blocked door with two matching overlights; a 19th-century sash window is above in the later left bay. Bracketed eaves are present. The roof is gabled with a large, stepped ridge stack at the top, featuring dog-toothed water tabling. A mid-18th century two-storey, three-window range to the rear is of random bond brick with a gabled roof covered in old tiles and a brick ridge stack. It has segmental arches over two 18th-century sash windows. A late 18th-century two-storey, one-bay range is set at a right angle to the left. The interior has a chamfered ground-floor beam, mostly concealed but likely of interest.
