Locomotive Inn

The Locomotive Inn is an inn, possibly originally two dwellings, dating from the 17th century. It features painted rendered rubblestone and timber-frame construction, topped with a steeply-pitched slate roof that has two rear external lateral stacks. The building has a two-unit plan with a short rear left wing that was likely extended in the 19th century.

The inn stands two storeys high with an attic and has a four-window range. The front roof has a deep overhang supported by exposed extended joists. The first floor has four cross windows from the 19th or 20th century, while the ground floor has been extended forward with a continuous lean-to roof. To the right, there is a 19th-century tripartite 8/8-pane sash window, and the centre and left sections feature 20th-century windows and a door.

Inside, there are two timber newel staircases located on the left and right sides. The staircase on the right is complete and extends through two floors, while the lower stage of the left staircase is broken and unusable. The attic contains wide oak planks and two small open fireplaces with timber lintels against the rear wall; the right fireplace has an 18th-century hob grate, while the left is blocked. The roof features a six-bay collar-truss design from the 18th or 19th century, with pegged face-lapped collars. The ceiling on the left side of the first floor has a 17th-century ovolo-moulded axial beam. Additionally, at the rear left of the ground floor, there is a small open fire with a repositioned oak lintel and a 17th-century wide-planked door that has moulded joints and wrought-iron hinges, now half-glazed.
