Description
The Old Inn is a public house that dates back to the 16th or 17th century, with additional wings added in the 18th or 19th century. It is constructed of granite rubble and features a slated roof. The main section of the building has two old chimneystacks on the ridge; the right one is rendered with stone weatherings, while the left gable has a rendered stack. The right wing includes an old rendered stack on the rear ridge, which was originally a front lateral stack serving the end room of the main range. Additionally, there is a 19th-century stone stack on the front gable of the wing and a small 20th-century rendered stack at the southeast corner. The left wing has a rendered stack on the left side wall.
The building has a U-shaped plan, with the main range at the base of the U featuring a four-room layout, where the two center rooms have been combined into one. It is two storeys high, except for a single-storey addition against the inner face of the right wing. The centre of the main range has three windows, all fitted with 20th-century wood casements, except for a 19th-century casement in the upper storey of the inner face of the left wing, which also has a late 19th-century sash window in the upper gable.
On the gable wall of the right wing, there is a flight of stone steps leading to a doorway in the upper storey. The interior has only been partially inspected, but the right-hand ground-storey room features a stone-flagged floor and a chamfered upper-floor beam. It has a large fireplace with plain jambs made of dressed granite blocks and a chamfered wood lintel with a straight-cut stop on the left end, which overruns the right jamb. The combined center rooms contain a fireplace with granite jambs in the right-hand end wall, a chamfered wood lintel with step-stops, and an oven in the back.
