Description

No.1 Church Street with No.24 High Street is a former inn, now two cottages, dating from the 18th century. The building is constructed of local stone rubble with Ham stone ashlar dressings and features an undulating Welsh slate roof with an abutment to the west and a coped gable to the east. It has a large off-centre brick chimney stack and is two storeys high with six bays.

The first two bays represent No.1, which has two- and three-light casement windows and a plain boarded door set in a plain ashlar surround with a heavy lintel. The third bay was a carriage entrance, featuring large double doors with a timber lintel above, half-timbered side walls, and old doors leading to a passage. Bays four to six represent No.24, showcasing hollow chamfered mullioned windows with unworked top mitres: three lights in bay four, two lights in upper bay five, and four lights in bay six, with labels above the ground floor windows. There is a plain boarded entrance door in a simple architrave at lower bay five.

The building has seen little external alteration and contributes significantly to the street scene in the centre of the village.
