Description

The Halfway Inn is a public house, likely built in the late 18th century. Its walls are a mix of brick, rubble stone, and plastered cob, all of which are colourwashed. The building features a thatched roof with brick stacks along the ridge. The ground floor includes a part-glazed door and two casement windows with glazing bars. In the attic, there are three dormers with double-hung sashes that also have glazing bars. At the south-west end, there is a brick extension, which was probably a former stable, featuring a loft door in the attic. At the north-east end, there is a 19th-century extension made of stone, topped with a stone slate roof and featuring a part-glazed door. Additionally, there is a lean-to extension at the rear, which has a thatched catslide roof.
