Description
Swan House Tea Room is a former inn and brewhouse dating from the early 19th century. The main block is rendered and features a Welsh slate roof with a gable stack on the right. The secondary block is made of painted rubble with a pantile roof and also has a gable stack. This long, narrow building consists of two adjacent units built against a hillside.
The main building is two and a half storeys tall, plus a basement. On the left side, there is an octagonal one-storey bay extension made of painted brick with a slate roof. The front of the main building has a small two-light dormer above three two-light 19th-century casement windows, and there are two similar windows alongside a central door located in a 20th-century porch. The door is accessed by a flight of steps leading up to an arched recess that has a plank door to the cellar. The right half of the building features three small two-light casements at the eaves, a door at the first floor right with a 20th-century glazed porch, and a long flight of stairs leading up. At the ground floor, there are two plank doors, as well as a lean-to and a gabled garage on the right. The building has been recorded since 1815.
