Description
The Roebuck Inn is an inn dated 1738, constructed of rubble stone that was originally plastered, featuring ashlar dressings and a stone-tiled roof with coped gables. The building is two-and-a-half storeys tall and has an 'L'-shaped plan with a four-window range. It has quoins and window surrounds that were originally flush with the plaster, along with two moulded string courses and three dormer gables. The dormers contain two-light cyma-moulded flush mullion windows with dripstones.
On the main floors, there is a one-window range of two-light cyma-moulded flush mullion windows to the left, followed by a door set in a raised moulded surround topped with a pediment supported by scroll brackets, flanked by blank single lights. Above this door, there is a 12-pane segmental-headed sash window on the first floor, and to the right, a two-window range of 12-pane sashes, with one blank on the first floor. A 20th-century window has been inserted on the first floor.
The west end wall features an upper two-light window and a lower 12-pane sash. The rear wing has a one-window range to the west, a dormer gable with a blank two-light window, a first-floor two-light window, and a ground-floor 16-pane sash. The rear of the main range has two blank dormer gables.
