Description

The Swan Inn is a late 18th-century inn located in Southrop Village. It is constructed of random rubble limestone with ashlar and rendered chimneys, topped with a stone slate roof and Welsh slate at the rear. The building is two-storey with an attic, featuring a two-storey section at the east end and a single-storey wing at the west end that was converted from stables.

The front of the inn has a three-window arrangement, all with timber casements that include horizontal glazing bars and timber lintels. To the right of the center, there is a doorway with a timber lintel leading to a recessed six-panel door. A central gabled roof dormer is mounted at the eaves. The building has two ridge-mounted chimneys, with the right chimney featuring a moulded cap. The right section of the inn has a single ground floor segmental arched casement and another casement with a timber lintel above it.

On the west side, there is a single-window arrangement on the front range, which is blocked on the upper floor. The former stables range to the left includes one 19th-century and three 20th-century casements. The interior has not been inspected. The inn holds an important position next to the village green and has been recorded as an inn since 1843.
