Description
The Durham Ox is a house dating from the late 18th century, constructed of stone rubble with a slate roof. It is a two-story, three-bay building. The windows have dressed stone surrounds and are sash windows with glazing bars. The central entrance now has a window with a small-paned casement, but it originally had a dressed stone surround. Gable-end stacks are present. A small gabled wing to the right-hand return features an entrance with a half-glazed door, steps, and plain iron balusters and a handrail terminating in urns; these elements were moved from a former entrance. At the rear, there is a single-story gabled projection, flanked by flat-roofed projections. A tall stair window with small-paned glazing is also present, and likely originally reached a greater height. Two large dormer windows are visible. The house was recorded as a public house in the first half of the 19th century, situated on the main drove road from Scotland.
