Description
The Peter Tavy Inn is a 17th-century inn that has been extended and altered in the 19th century. It features plastered stone rubble walls and a slate roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right. The building has three rendered stacks: a rubble lateral stack at the rear, a brick shaft on a rubble base at the right gable end, and an axial brick shaft. Originally, the inn had two rooms likely with a central passage, with the left-hand room heated by a rear lateral fireplace and the right-hand room by a gable fireplace. In the 19th century, a small room was added to the left side, along with a small single-storey wing built in front of it in the late 19th to early 20th century.
The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front, featuring 20th-century small-paned one and two-light casements, except for the original three-light granite mullion window on the ground floor to the left. At the centre, there is an original chamfered granite doorway with a segmental arch, leading to a heavy plank door from the 19th century. A single-storey gabled wing projects from the left-hand end, and a low range of 19th to 20th-century outbuildings extends from the right-hand end.
Inside, the left-hand room has a rebuilt granite fireplace with a cambered arch made of granite voussoirs. The beams are closely spaced, wany, and chamfered, giving the interior a distinctive character.
