Description

The Prince of Wales Public House is a public house that likely dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with remodels and extensions probably added in the early 19th century. It is constructed from serpentine and elvan rubble, featuring dressed granite sills and a dressed granite lintel band above the ground floor openings. The first floor and the left extension have dressed granite quoins and jambs, along with shallow brick arches. The roof is made of scantle slate and slopes down towards the rear. Brick chimneys are located over the original gable ends, while the roof has been extended over the left-hand hipped end.

The building's original plan likely consisted of two rooms with a hall and kitchen on the right, which includes a large fireplace, and a parlour on the left, connected by a cross or through passage. In the 19th century, the structure was rebuilt above ground to the first floor, with service rooms added under an outshut at the rear and a one-room wide, double-depth addition on the left side. It stands two storeys tall with a regular three-window front facing southwest. The original two-window front on the right is symmetrical, featuring a central doorway with a panelled door. Most of the windows are 16-pane sashes, which are early 19th century hornless sashes, except for the first floor far left and ground floor right windows. On the right side, there is a four-step rubble mounting block with dressed granite steps.

Inside, the public house has 19th-century ceiling beams, but the large fireplace in the right-hand room and a complex moulded remnant of a pine muntin and plank partition on the right side of the passage may date back to the 17th century.
