Plough Hotel

The Plough Hotel is a building that originally served as a house, dating from the mid- to late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof with coped verges. The hotel has two storeys and an attic, comprising three bays. The windows are chamfered mullion types with dripstones, consisting of four lights, except for the two-light windows in the center on the first floor and in three prominent gabled full dormers.

The central entrance has a four-centred chamfered doorway flanked by narrow windows, all linked by a continuous dripstone, and is fitted with a 20th-century plank door. The building has integral end stacks with dripstones, which have been rebuilt in 20th-century red brick. The outline of a former low gabled range is visible on the right gable end, and there is a gabled full dormer at the center of the rear.

Attached to the left gable end are former stables and a service range, which is one storey with an attic. The ground floor of this range includes, from left to right, a 20th-century casement window, a plank door, two 20th-century casements in the position of an infilled opening, a four-light chamfered mullion window with a dripstone, and another 20th-century plank door. There are also two hip-roofed eaves dormers to the right and two stone ridge stacks to the left.

Inside the main range, the ground floor, which was formerly three rooms and is now one, features chamfered ceiling beams with a variety of stops. A partly infilled open fireplace on the right has chamfered jambs and a chamfered four-centred wooden lintel. The fireplace in the left room on the first floor also has a chamfered wooden lintel. The 20th-century flat-roofed additions to the rear are not considered to have special architectural interest.
