Description
The Old Saddlery is a house, part of which is used as a shop, likely dating from the late 18th century. It features rubble stone walls and a slate roof with stone eaves courses, along with a brick stack at the left end. The building has two storeys. The entrance includes a stable door set in a timber porch topped with a segmental lead roof. The shop front has a square bay window with glazing bars and a simple moulded cornice. On the first floor, there are two sash windows with glazing bars. The right end gable has a similar shop window, also with sashes featuring glazing bars, and there is a flat sash window on the ground floor as well. The first floor has two additional similar sashes. At the rear, there is a small single-storey outbuilding with a stone slate roof, which is currently used as a garage.
