Description
The Ship Inn is an 18th-century building that was heightened in the 19th century. It features whitewashed rubble with a tarred plinth and has a slurried big slate roof with wide eaves. The inn is two storeys high and has four windows, one of which is blocked. The windows are sashes without glazing bars, and there is an oriel bay on the first floor. A plain recessed door is located beneath the bay window. The right-hand part of the building is early 19th-century whitened stucco, also two storeys with four windows and sashes without glazing bars, topped with a slate roof. The Ship Inn is included for its group value with the General Store.
