Larkhall Inn

The Larkhall Inn is a house that was later converted into a public house, featuring attached former stabling and a brewery. It dates from the mid-18th century, with alterations and expansions made in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar and rubble, topped with triple Roman tile and Welsh slate roofs.

The original house is a double-depth, central entry design with an extension to the right from the early 19th century, and a stabling and brewery wing to the left rear, also from the early to mid-19th century. The main structure has two storeys and an attic, with a three-bay façade that includes a central door. It features quoins at the corners, a plat band at the first-floor level, a cornice, and a parapet with balustraded openings in front of triple dormer windows. The single-bay extension to the right lacks the masonry details of the main building but is adorned with large gilded letters displaying the name of the pub.

The ground floor has large square bar windows with dressed surrounds on either side of a panelled door, which has a rectangular light above and a flat hood supported by brackets. The first-floor windows are late 19th-century plate glass sashes set in dressed surrounds. The roof is mansard with ashlar stacks featuring weathering at both ends of the ridge. The gable wall of the original house is made of rubble. The right wing shows two different building phases, visible from the rear, and has a single casement window facing the street, along with external steps leading to the rear and coped gables on the roof. The left wing is primarily featureless rubble, partly painted, with two stacks on the street wall and external stairs at the end. The rear of this wing has three six-over-six sash windows above a pent covering the ground floor.

The rear elevation of the main building includes a late 18th or early 19th-century projecting bow with six-over-six sash windows, roofed with Welsh slate, and a tall ashlar stack. Inside, the ground floor has been significantly altered and opened up, featuring early 20th-century behind-bar fittings and a fitted bench within the projecting bow at the rear. There is also an original stone fireplace and remnants of decorative cornice in the room with the projecting bay.
