Description
The Old Fleece Inn is a former inn that has been converted into a detached house. It dates from the late 18th century, with a mid-19th century addition. The building is constructed of red brick and coursed rubble limestone, all of which is painted, and features brick chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. It is two stories tall with an attic, and the 19th-century addition creates an L-shaped plan.
The front of the building has a facade with a moulded shaped pediment. It features three-window sash fenestration, all with 12 panes, on both the ground and upper floors, except for a 20th-century glazed doorway to the right. The central sash window on the upper floor has been painted over. There is a central rusticated round-arched attic recess that was previously painted with the words 'All drawn from the wood' in Victorian lettering, but this has since been painted over. A swept top screen wall is attached to the left side of the building.
On the south side, there is a projecting lateral chimney stack with a mid-19th century rebuilt shaft and a gabled addition to the left. The fenestration consists of segmental-arched casements, with a single casement in the attic gable. The north side features keyed stone segmental-arched casements that belong to both the 18th and 19th-century sections. There is a return wing made of random rubble and a lean-to porch at the angle. Additionally, there is a lean-to addition at the gable end of the return wing. The interior has not been inspected.
