Description
Lamb House is an inn that has been converted into a house, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of painted ashlar and features a slate roof, with a coped gable on the southeast and an end wall stack. The building has two storeys and an attic, with paired small 12-pane windows in the attic, paired 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, and a combination of 12-pane and 16-pane sash windows on the ground floor. The end wall includes an upper 16-pane sash window and a 19th-century six-panel door. At the rear, there is a 19th-century three-storey wing facing the road, made of small ashlar blocks and also with a slate roof, coped gables, and a south end wall stack. This wing has two window ranges, with the upper floors on the right being blank above a former door, and paired four-pane upper sashes and paired 12-pane sashes on the first and ground floors to the left. The building was formerly known as the Lamb Inn.
