Description

The Dun Cow Public House is a public house that dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with an 18th-century extension. The left range is constructed of colourwashed limestone rubble and features a gabled stone slate roof with brick end stacks. It has a two-unit plan, is one storey and attic high, and has a two-window range. There is a timber lintel over a late 19th-century plank door located to the right of a segmental-arched 20th-century three-light casement window, along with 20th-century two-light casements in gabled dormers. The lower block to the right is also one storey and attic high, made from similar materials with an old tile roof, and has a similar door and window. The 18th-century extension is a two-storey, two-window range that projects forward from the right bay. It is rendered over a light timber frame, has a gabled stone slate roof, and an external end stack finished in brick. This section features timber lintels over mid-19th-century casements, a plank door, and two-pane sashes. Inside, there are step-chamfered and plain beams on the ground floor, while the first floor has not been inspected.
