Description
The Britannia Inn is an early 18th-century building with later extensions. It stands three storeys tall, constructed of rubble laid in thin courses, and features a slate roof with various chimneys, including one ashlar chimney on the right with a moulded capping and a side chimney at the rear. The façade has two plus three windows, which are 2 and 3 light casements with hollow chamfered mullions set in rebated surrounds, complete with labels; the right-hand windows are later additions.
There is a central projecting lobby extension that includes an entrance, which obscures a well-crafted moulded doorcase with a pulvinated frieze and architrave, with the lower part returning above the plinth. On either side of the door, there are narrow single light windows with labels that extend to the adjacent windows. To the right, there is a plain 19th-century Tuscan portico with a blocking course. Additionally, there is a mid-19th-century single-storey extension to the right, which features a pair of sash windows, and a small blocked window is located to the right of the rear chimney.
