Description

The Hop Pole Inn is a 17th-century inn that was altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a double Roman tiled roof with coped verges and stone stacks. The building is two stories high and has three windows. A large gabled stone porch with a chamfered arched opening leads to two half-glazed inner doors. To the right of the porch is a 3-light beaded mullioned casement window with a hoodmould, and to the left is a 2-light 19th-century ovolo-mullioned casement window. On the first floor, there are two 3-light ovolo-mullioned casements and one 3-light beaded mullioned casement, all featuring hoodmoulds. The eaves were raised in the 19th century, and a straight joint indicates that the left-hand bay is an addition. There is a lean-to extension on the right side and rear lean-to extensions. The interior has been altered.
