Description
The Butt of Sherry is an inn built in the late 18th century. It features coursed limestone rubble and a plain tile mansard roof. The building is two storeys tall with an attic and has two windows. On the ground floor, there is a tripartite sash window with a 4:12:4 configuration and a display window in four lights set in a shallow bow, which is adorned with pilasters and a frieze that has a dentil cornice; the lights of the display window have Gothick heads. The first floor has two tripartite sash windows, all of which are topped with flat cambered voussoirs. There is a central 2-light hipped dormer and a central 6-panel part-glazed door with a cambered head. The shop bow features a series of upright orthostates as a stall-board, and there is a flush greensond plat-band at the first floor level, just below the applied name board. The gables are rendered, and there is a brick stack on the right side. The interior has been significantly modified. At the back, there is a small courtyard and a deep wing.
