The Bird In Hand

The Bird in Hand is a public house that was originally built as a coach house around the 1860s for Harvey and Co. It features Flemish-bond brick walls with rusticated granite dressings and a hipped scantle slate roof that has slightly projecting eaves with cast-iron ogee gutters. There are tall brick chimneys at each hipped end. The building has a rectangular plan, with a stable, tack room, and two coach houses on the ground floor, while the first floor includes grooms' accommodation and likely a fodder store, accessed by a flight of granite steps at the rear.

Architecturally, the building is two storeys plus an attic, with a south front that has a 1:1:2:2 bay arrangement. The central bays project forward and are topped with a triangular pediment that features a glazed central oculus. Notable exterior details include a plinth, chamfered rustications, keyed elliptical arches, and a first-floor sill string. There is a doorway in the second bay from the left and two wide doorways in the right-hand bays, all with original doors and fenestration. The ground floor windows have ledged doors with overlights and 8-paned fixed lights with 4-pane hoppers, while the first-floor windows feature 16-pane hornless sashes. The interior has not been inspected. This building served as the former coach house of Glanmar House.
