The Old Ship

The Old Ship is a house that was converted into a public house and then back into a house around the mid-20th century. It dates from the 17th century and is constructed of rendered and painted stone rubble. The roof is made of rag slate with gable ends, and there are rendered stone rubble and brick stacks on the gable ends, with a brick shaft on a projecting rear lateral stone rubble stack. The building is set into the side of a hill, with the ground rising at the rear.

The layout likely features a three-room and cross-passage plan, with the lower end on the right and the inner room on the left heated by end stacks, while the central room is heated by the rear lateral stack. The house has two storeys and an asymmetrical front with four windows. On the ground floor, there are three 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash windows, a 20th-century part-glazed door to the right of centre, and a 20th-century rendered stone rubble porch. The first floor features a 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash window, a 20th-century 8-pane horned sash window, and two 19th-century 2-light horizontally sliding sashes. The interior is not accessible.
