Description

The Old Bear Inn is an inn built in the early 19th century. It features a limestone ashlar exterior and a Welsh slate roof with coped verges and stone stacks. The building is two stories high and has four windows. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door, flanked by a pair of 12-pane sash windows, with double panelled doors and one 16-pane sash window on the sides; the side bays are later additions. There is a sill band at the first floor level, with two pairs of 12-pane sashes in the center and 16-pane sashes on the sides. The returns are made of coursed rubble stone, and there is a blocked doorway and a 20th-century casement window to the right. The corners of the left return have buttresses with offsets, and there are 20th-century extensions at the rear.
