Description
London House is a house and shop that was formerly known as the London Inn. It likely dates from the 18th century, although earlier materials may be hidden beneath the current structure. The building features rendered stone rubble and cob with a hipped asbestos slate roof. There are tall rendered stacks at the right end and at the rear of the left wing. The rear right wing has an axial brick stack and a brick shaft leading to a rendered stack at the rear gable end.
The layout includes a principal room on each side of a wide stair hall, with the left-hand room divided into two smaller rooms. The shop projects forward from the front left, creating an L-shaped plan. An additional wing extends from the rear right side, containing two heated rooms. The building has two storeys and a four-window range, with 19th-century two-light casements featuring six panes per light. There is also an asbestos slate lean-to roof over the porch at the angle with the shop wing.
Inside, the interior has been completely altered in the 19th century, featuring a 19th-century chimneypiece in the rear left room and largely intact 19th-century joinery. The roof structure is also a wide span from the 19th century.
