Swan House

Swan House is a house, later used as a public house, likely dating from the early to mid-19th century, and possibly incorporating fabric from an earlier 18th-century building. It is constructed of rendered walls, likely over a stone rubble core. The roof is covered with scantle slate, and the chimney stacks are of rendered brick with weatherings. The house follows a two-room central-entrance plan with a staircase at the rear of the entrance hall and external stacks to the rear. There is a one-story outshut to the right gable end. The two-storey main part of the house has a nearly symmetrical three-bay front, featuring 19th-century windows with small panes. The central entrance has a 19th-century four-panelled door, with glazed upper panels and beaded flush lower panels, set in a chamfered wooden frame, and a 19th-century bracketed porch with shaped bargeboards. The outshut has shaped verge boards, and the gable ends of the main range also feature shaped bargeboards. The interior retains four-panelled doors with moulded architraves and an early 19th-century staircase with rectangular stick balusters, a closed string, and a turned newel post. An old winder stair leads to a cellar, which includes an 18th-century four-panelled door at the top and a cobbled floor with a former barrel-drop at the front. The cellar is located under the left-hand room.
