Description
The Angel Inn is a complex building with various dates from the 16th century. The southern exterior appears uniform and is likely from the late 18th or early 19th century. It has two storeys and is rendered, though it is said to be timber box framed beneath the rendering. The roof is a triple Roman style, hipped to the right, with a crested ridge that is slightly lower on the left-hand bay. There are one ridge and two additional chimneys. The windows are spaced with one to two wide spaces between them and feature late glazed sashes in moulded wooden frames.
The doorway is located between the first two windows on the left side and has a stone block surround with stone brackets supporting an unmoulded pediment, leading to a glazed door. There is a small doorway to the right, below the second window from the right, which marks the original position of a cross passage. The building has an 'L' plan extension to the northeast and a later stable extension to the northwest. The width of the house has been increased, leaving previous rafters visible within the later roof. Timber framing is clearly visible on the former outside wall of the original rear extension.
The front roof features two boxed-in curved crucks on the north side and has numbered trusses with "A" pieces at the ridge and wind braces; notably, the western bay has two layers of wind braces. A large chimney located to the right of centre opens to the west on the ground floor and to the east on the first floor, where there is a fine original fireplace with a worked overmantel.
