Description
The Tavistock Inn is a public house dating from the 17th century, with later additions at the rear. It features solid roughcast walls, likely made of stone, and has slated roofs, with the outbuilding on the right being slightly lower. There are rendered chimneystacks on the ridge and on the left-hand gable, as well as a stone stack in the rear wall at the right-hand end. The building has a three-room plan, with the two right-hand rooms now combined into one, and an additional room to the right that was probably a former outbuilding. It stands two storeys high and has a three-window front, with large windows in the former outbuilding to the right. The main building has 19th-century casements with glazing bars, and the upper storey windows are smaller than those below. The doorway is off-centre to the right. Inside, there is a fireplace to the left of the former middle room, featuring granite jambs, a chamfered and stopped wood lintel, and an oven with a four-centred granite arch. Next to this, in the rear wall, is a winding stone staircase. The remainder of the interior has not been inspected.
