Description
The Sloop Inn is an inn with origins in the 17th century, which has been significantly remodeled and extended in the early 19th century. It features plastered stone rubble walls and a slate roof that is hipped on the main range, with a half-mansard roof on the front of the wing. There are brick stacks at either end of the main range. The building's plan has been much altered, making the original form unclear, but it likely consisted of two or three rooms before the rear extension. The left-hand end has a large wing that extends to the rear.
The exterior is two storeys high, with a regular three-window front on the main range. The upper floor has 20th-century two-light small-paned casements, while the lower floor features a 12-pane sash window to the left and a 20th-century bay window to the right. A central 20th-century plank door is present, and a hollow-moulded stringcourse runs along the front of the house between the floors. The tall three-storey wing at the left-hand end has mainly early 19th-century 16-pane sash windows.
Inside, the interior has been largely altered in the later 20th century, but it retains one apparently early 17th-century wooden doorframe with a cranked head at the left-hand end of the front range.
