Description

Tavern House is a former inn that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century and features alterations and additions from the 18th and 19th centuries, along with a restoration in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with squared dressed stone on the rear staircase tower, and it has some wooden lintels. The roofs are gabled and covered with stone slate, featuring end stone stacks.

The structure is a long range of four elements set parallel to the road. On the left is the original 17th-century core cottage, followed by the main block from the 18th century, a link section from the early 19th century, and a late 19th-century cottage on the right. The central 18th-century block has two storeys and an attic, with two windows, including attic windows located under the gables. The windows are two-light small leaded pane casements.

There is a central gabled porch with a pointed-headed entrance and a plank door, topped with a ball finial at the apex of the porch gable, which is echoed in all other gables of the range. The link section features a mock medieval embattled parapet along the eaves lines.
