Description

The Old Tavern is a house that likely dates back to the early 17th century, with some later alterations and a 19th-century addition on the left side. The building is constructed from coursed stone rubble and has an imitation stone slate roof, featuring brick stacks at the ends and a brick ridge stack located to the left of the center. It is a two-storey structure with an eight-window range. There is a six-panel door leading to a lean-to porch situated to the right of a two-storey cross-wing on the right side of the building. The windows are arranged irregularly and include casements, some of which have stone basket-arches. The interior has not been inspected.
