Description

The Rose and Crown public house probably dates to the 16th century, with later alterations. It is a building of group value. Constructed with a smooth-rendered mass wall, it has a slate roof with gabled ends. There is a stack with clustered shafts, some of old brick, at the junction with the adjoining house, featuring old pots. A further stack with a rendered shaft is located at the rear right. The building's plan is unclear due to access restrictions, but the external appearance suggests it may represent the higher end of a 3-room-and-cross-passage plan, with the house to the left forming the lower end.

The building is two storeys, with a three-window range. A central two-leaf front door from the 19th century is situated in the centre. A four-light, small-pane, 20th-century bowed window is positioned to the left. The ground floor has two windows to the right of the door, and the first floor has three windows, all small-pane casements with glazing bars. The return elevation to South Street has one doorway, one ground-floor casement, and one first-floor sash window.

The interior was not inspected, although the ground-floor bar is likely altered. An older listing description mentioned three roof trusses with curved braces and decorated plasterwork.
