The Falcon Inn

The Falcon Inn is an inn dating to approximately 1840, with subsequent additions and alterations in the later 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of stone rubble with brick and stone dressings, and has a hipped slate roof with ridge tiles and deep, bracketed eaves. The plan is double depth, originally with a central entrance and principal rooms to the front right and left, now forming one large ground-floor space. A two-room rear wing was added to the right, heated from an axial stack, its facade serving as a garden front with service rooms to the rear. A one-room plan addition of the 19th century was added to the rear of the rear wing, and it is unheated.

The main front is symmetrical, with three windows. The ground and first floors each have a pair of early 19th century two-light casements with three panes per light, featuring Chinoiserie margin glazing and segmental brick arches with keystones. A central blind painted casement is on the first floor, with an inn sign hung in front of the window. The central entrance has a four-panelled door with fanlight, set within a recessed round arch with a brick head and keystone. The right side has six similar two-light Chinoiserie casements at the first floor with brick segmental arches and keystones. One window is blind. At ground floor, there are three similar casements, and the third bay from the left has an open-fronted porch with a pitched roof supported on granite Doric columns, incorporating a 20th-century half-glazed door. To the right of the porch is a recessed bay with the upper storey supported on two granite Doric columns, creating a covered area with a half-glazed door and a two-light three-pane casement, with doors to the right and left. A straight joint marks the end bay which has a similar Chinoiserie casement at both ground and first floor. The rear of the wing features four-pane sash windows at ground and first floors on its outer side, along with a four-pane sash window at ground floor on its inner side. The main range has a door and a single-storey lean-to to the right with a two-light casement, while the inner side of the wing has four Chinoiserie two-light casements at first floor; a 20th-century door and two two-light casements are on the ground floor to the right, with a lean-to to the left containing a door and two two-light casements.
