Description
Clanfield Tavern Public House is a house that has been converted into an inn, dating from the early 18th century with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble and features stone slate roofs, arranged in a T-plan. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window front. The windows are 19th-century casements, featuring a mix of chamfered, moulded, and plain wood lintels, along with a 19th-century canted bay window on the lower left. The entrance is located between the bay window and the central window, consisting of a 20th-century plank door beneath a carved gabled hood from the 19th century. The roof has three small gabled dormers.
There are integral end stacks, with the left stack rebuilt in red brick above a lower dripstone, and the right stack has two dripstones and a red brick top. At the rear, there is a short range with the top of the integral end stack rebuilt in 20th-century brown brick, and an early 19th-century range attached to it. Each floor has three 19th-century casements with wood lintels, and there is a stable door between the centre and right windows, along with a rendered ridge stack to the left.
Inside, the right ground-floor room features a deep-chamfered spine beam with stepped ogee stops and chamfered joists, as well as an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel. The left room has a chamfered cross beam, and the short rear range has a deep-chamfered ceiling beam. The floors are made of stone flags. The 19th-century range includes a plain spine beam with mortices for a former partition, which may be reused. There are 20th-century additions in the angle to the rear on the right that are not of special architectural interest. The building was formerly known as The Masons Arms.
