Description
The Barley Mow is a house, originally a public house, dating to around 1800. It is constructed of colourwashed brick, with the left end roughly textured and colourwashed, and has a hipped roof covered in old tiles. Brick chimneys flank the building, and the left chimney is rendered. The house is L-shaped and has two storeys and three bays. It features sash windows with three panes of glass, each framed by a gauged brick arch. The central entrance has a six-panelled door set within a moulded architrave frame, topped by a cornice hood supported on grooved scroll brackets. Internally, the house retains good quality two-panel doors in architrave frames. The right end of the house has fireplaces with moulded wooden surrounds, and the central staircase has column newels and stick balusters.
