Longley House

Longley House is a former inn, dating to the mid-to-late 18th century, which has been converted into townhouses. It is constructed of pale brown local brick with stucco dressings, and has a stone slate roof with coping and brick kneelers. Rebuilt end stacks are present. The building is three storeys high and five bays wide. The central entrance retains a doorcase with pilasters supporting an open dentilled pediment and a patterned radial fanlight, but now contains no door. Flanking the entrance are sash windows with glazing bars in flush wood architraves. The outer bays feature Venetian windows with sashes and glazing bars, with radial glazing to the central light. Stucco cill bands are present on the first and second floors. The fenestration pattern is repeated on the upper floors, with radial glazing in the heads above the entrance and tripartite sashes instead of Venetian windows to the second floor. All windows have stucco lintels with keyblocks. Stucco quoins define the corners. The building was originally a coaching inn.
