Description

Carrock House, originally a public house known as the Horse and Farrier, dates from 1777 and has undergone 19th-century alterations. The building features painted roughcast walls beneath a Welsh slate roof, with lower courses of greenslate and painted roughcast chimney stacks. It is two storeys high with two bays and has a lower set-back extension to the left. The 19th-century gabled porch includes an inner door with a dated lintel. The building has sash windows, with those on the right being 19th-century enlargements, all set in painted stone surrounds. The front of the extension is obscured by the adjacent Carrock Cottage, which is listed separately. The rear of the house has 20th-century ground floor windows and 19th-century sash windows above, both in painted stone surrounds. The end wall still displays a wrought-iron inn sign bracket. The establishment ceased operating as a pub in the 1970s, and the 20th-century extensions at the rear are not of interest.
