The Dolphin Inn

The Dolphin Inn is a pair of attached houses, now combined into an inn, dating from the early to mid-19th century, with later 19th and 20th-century additions and alterations. The building is constructed of rendered stone rubble. The house on the left has a slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends, featuring a gable end stack with a 20th-century brick shaft. The house on the right has a bitumenised slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends, and a brick shaft to its gable end stack. The rear wing is roofed with scantle slate.

The house to the left follows a 2-room plan, with a central entrance and rooms of equal size; each room was originally heated from a gable end stack. A 20th-century addition extends to the rear. The house to the right has a 2-room plan, with a larger room to the left and a smaller room to the right, originally heated separately by gable end stacks. A single-room addition was built to the rear left in the later 19th century, with a rear stack for heating, and a 2-room addition was added to the rear right.

The left-hand house presents a symmetrical 2-window front, two stories in height. It has 20th-century replacement 16-pane sash windows. A central 19th-century porch features a 4-panelled door and cornice. The house to the right is also two stories high, with a nearly symmetrical 2-window front. The ground floor has a 20th-century 16-pane sash where a door once stood, alongside 19th-century 16-pane sashes to the left and right. The first floor has 20th-century 16-pane sashes to the left and a 19th-century 16-pane sash to the right. The left gable end has 20th-century 8-pane sashes at ground and first floor to the right and a 20th-century window to the left at first floor. The rear of the left-hand house features a single-story 20th-century addition and a 20th-century window at first floor. The rear of the right-hand house has a 2-story rear wing to the left with a 19th-century 4-pane sash at both ground and first floor, alongside a plank door on the inner side. A single-story addition of the late 19th century is present, featuring a 2-light 4-pane casement with brick dressings and a plank door. A shallower rear wing on the right is open at ground floor to create a porch, with a 4-pane sash at ground floor and a 20th-century window to the right, and a 20th-century window at first floor.
