Description

The Golden Lion is a public house that likely has origins dating back to the 17th century. It is constructed from rendered and painted stone rubble and brick, topped with a slate roof featuring gable ends. The building has a brick front lateral stack located to the left of center and a stone rubble projecting end stack on the right. The layout may consist of three rooms with a cross or through passage, with the entrance positioned to the right of center. The hall, which is on the higher left side, is heated by the front lateral stack, while the kitchen on the lower right side is heated by the projecting end stack. A service wing was added to the rear of the lower right end, likely in the 18th century, and a stair was added in a projection to the rear, possibly also in the 18th century. A third storey was probably added in the 19th century.

The exterior features three storeys and has an asymmetrical four-window front, with the entrance to the right of center. The window openings on the ground and first floors have chamfered timber lintels with run-out stops. There are a pair of double sash windows to the left of the entrance and a triple sash window to the right. The entrance includes a four-panelled door. On the first floor, there are three double sash windows, and the second floor has four three-light casements. The interior has not been inspected.
