Description
The Three Lions is an inn dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted limestone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof that has a hip to the left and a coped verge to the right, along with stone stacks. The building is L-shaped and two storeys high, with three windows on the front.
There is a 20th-century door that has a flat stone hood supported by brackets, along with a shallow canted porch that includes a blocked doorway and sidelights to the left. The centre has a pair of small sash windows, and to the right, there is a chamfered and beaded cart entry with double doors. A plat band runs along the first floor, which has three pairs of 12-pane sash windows.
The projecting wing to the left features a 3-light cyma-mullioned casement on both the ground and first floors. The gable end facing the road displays three Coade stone or terracotta lions on moulded brackets, along with a single-light attic casement. The roof is finished with Bridgwater tiles and has a coped verge.
