Description
The Old Ale House is a late 18th-century building, originally a public house and now a dwelling. It is constructed of coursed Hythe sandstone with dressings, quoins, and a stringcourse of red brick and grey headers, set in galletting. The roof is tiled. The building retains its original glazing bars. A gabled projection, originally a porch, now features a sash window that matches the design of the others.
