Description
The Prince of Wales Public House is a building dating from the 17th century, with an 18th-century extension. It is constructed of rubble stone and brick, topped with a steeply pitched gabled slate roof featuring four ridge stacks: two brick stacks to the east and two others on moulded stone bases. The building has one storey and an attic, with a range of four windows and two doors.
The 17th-century section includes three-light leaded casements beneath wooden lintels, a 20th-century polygonal glazed bow window on the ground floor, and three two-light casement dormers set into the eaves line. The 18th-century brick extension features a 20th-century sash window under a cambered arch on the ground floor and a hipped eaves dormer with a similar sash window. There is a gabled brick porch with a 20th-century plank door, and the door in the 17th-century section is also a 20th-century plank door. The rear of the building has several 20th-century additions, and the interior has been modernized.
