Packhorse Inn

The Packhorse Inn is a farmhouse that has been converted into a public house, dated 1674, and likely includes elements from an earlier building. It is constructed of rubble with freestone quoins and dressings, topped with a double Roman tiled roof featuring coped raised verges and ashlar end stacks. The building has two storeys, a cellar on the left, and attics with three gabled dormers. It has four bays with a mix of 2-, 3-, and 4-light casement windows that have ovolo moulded mullions and surrounds, all under dripmoulds. There are relieving arches above the larger windows, one glazing bar sash window on the left, and two blocked windows on the first floor. The central entrance features a studded plank door with a moulded surround that has a 4-centred head and the date in sunken spandrels, all beneath a flat stone hood supported by brackets and a dripmould. Inside, there is a cross-passage, with moulded beams and cornice in the left room on the ground floor, and chamfered beams along with a 4-centre headed fireplace in the right room. The doorways throughout have ovolo moulded surrounds.
