Five Mile House

The Five Mile House is an inn dating to the 17th century with a substantial 18th-century addition. It is constructed of coursed, squared, and random rubble limestone, with ashlar dressings to the 18th-century section, an ashlar bay window, ashlar chimney stacks, and a stone slate roof. The building comprises an 18th-century two-room, two-storey house with an attic, built onto a 17th-century two-room, two-storey house with a two-storey return wing.

The front of the 17th-century section has scattered windows: one to each floor, with timber casements and timber lintels. The upper floor window has chamfered stone jambs. A doorway to the right has a timber lintel and a plank door, and a continuous hood mould covers the ground floor openings. To the right is a two-storey canted bay window with a hipped roof; it has nine-pane sashes on the front face, and fixed lights in the sides. A projecting chimney stack is at the left gable end, stepped near the roof line. The gable end and return wing have scattered windows, including a chamfered single-light attic window to the left of the stack, and the blocked remains of a single-light with a partial hood mould at low level. A casement window is on each floor of the return wing, and the doorway has a timber lintel and a vertical board door. There is an outshut at the back of the return wing.

The front of the 18th-century house has two windows, with sashes on the upper floor and one sash to the right of an arched doorway, all with dressed surrounds and lintels. The doorway is a four-panel door with intersecting glazing bars in an overlight. The gable ends have plain parapets with a chimney at the ridge of each, both with plain caps and skirts. A central attic dormer is at the back, containing an inserted window on the upper floor and a small casement to the left, the former with a stone lintel and the latter with a timber one. Stone steps lead to a low-level segmental arched doorway with a plank door. A single-storey lean-to is at the gable end. The interior remains largely unmodernised as a public house, with fixed wooden seating.
