Description
The Game Cock Inn is a 17th-century inn that has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a pebbledash exterior with painted stone dressings and a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has four bays. The entrance, located to the left of the centre, has a plain surround and a five-panel door, with the upper two panels glazed. There is a 20th-century entrance on the right-hand side.
A projecting two-storey outshut in the third bay contains one window on each storey: a 17th-century two-light chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor and a late 19th or early 20th-century three-light chamfered window on the upper floor, along with 20th-century casements. The three remaining ground floor windows include a 17th-century two-light double chamfered cavetto mullioned window with a hoodmould, a plain surround with sashes that do not have glazing bars, and a similar but wider window with 20th-century casements.
On the upper floor, there are three windows: early 20th-century metal casements, a former two-light double chamfered window with a missing mullion and 20th-century casements, and two 19th-century two-light flat-faced mullioned windows with sashes that do not have glazing bars. The right-hand gable end features a ridge stack located to the right of centre.
