Description
The Ostler Public House is a public house dating from the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed from plastered random rubble with brick patching and features a hipped and half-hipped slate roof. The building consists of two main sections: the original public house, previously known as 'The Commercial', which is located to the right of a slightly projecting range that was formerly a cottage and may include some pre-19th century fabric. This range now serves as an extension to the public house.
The internal layout has been significantly altered, obscuring the original plan. There is an axial stack from the former cottages and an external lateral brick stack at the rear of the main range. The building is two storeys tall.
On the front exterior, the main range has a three-window arrangement. The first floor features one 16-pane hornless sash window and, to the right, two tripartite 4:12:4 hornless sash windows. The ground floor has two doors and a tripartite sash window between them. The right-hand door, which leads to the public bar, has been cut into what was originally another tripartite sash window. The right-hand end elevation, which overlooks The Square, has two similar windows. The lower range, which was formerly cottages, has three 16-pane hornless sash windows on the first floor, and the ground floor includes another similar sash window, a tripartite sash window with a door between, and a 20th-century two-light casement window to the right.
