Description
The London Inn is a public house, likely built in the 18th century and remodeled in the early 19th century. It features a rendered stone rubble exterior and a slate hipped roof with red clay ridge tiles and deep eaves at the front. The building has two lateral stacks at the back; one is truncated below the roof, while the other, located at the left end, has a late 19th-century brick shaft.
The plan is situated at a right angle to the road, originally forming an L-shape with three rooms in the front range and an entrance to the right of the center. The center and right-hand rooms were heated by lateral stacks at the back, while the left-hand room has a stack at the left end. There is a service wing at the rear of the left end, along with a large outshut in the angle behind the main range that has a wide doorway onto the road, which is said to have been the farrier's shop. The ground floor partitions in the front range have been removed, creating one large room that serves as the bar.
The exterior is two storeys high with a one-to-three window front. The three right-hand windows are asymmetrically arranged around a central doorway that has a round head, a semi-circular fanlight, and a 20th-century panelled door. All the corridors feature 19th-century 12-pane sash windows, and there is a similar sash window on both the ground and first floors of the right-hand gable end facing the road. At the back, there is a hipped roof wing and a large outshut with a lean-to slate roof and a wide doorway at the end leading onto the road.
The interior inspection focused only on the ground floor of the front range, which has been opened up into one large room for the bar. There are no visible early features in this area, and the fireplaces have been blocked.
