Castle House with Adjoining Wings Gate Cottage

This is an early to mid-18th century inn with adjoining wings, later divided into two dwellings, one wing being separately owned and converted into a further dwelling named Gate Cottage. Wings were added around 1779, with 20th-century alterations primarily affecting the interiors. The building is constructed of rubble with freestone dressings, incorporating bands at the first and second floor levels. It has an M-shaped tile mansard roof with coped verges, copings, and brick ridge stacks.

The symmetrical frontage features a central, pedimented, three-storey projecting porch with a ridge running at a right angle to the frontage. It has a 2:1:2 bay arrangement, with 12-pane sash windows and exposed sash boxes. Brick voussoirs and freestone keys are present around the ground floor openings, while the second floor of the porch has a 4-pane casement. A wide, semi-circular headed porch opening is emphasised by keying and impost blocks, leading to an inner doorway with a late 20th-century glazed door.

Flanking the inn are single-storeyed wings, each with embattled parapets. They feature an arcade of five openings with semi-circular heads, brick voussoirs, emphasised keys, and imposts. Small, blank circular openings are positioned between each arch, with one missing entirely. The arcade is largely blank, except for the central opening on each side, which provides access to a yard, the yards themselves enclosed by further rubble-walling; the right side walling includes circular openings mirroring those on the frontage. To the left of the main building stands an outbuilding at right angles to the frontage, with a lean-to roof covered in triple-Roman tiles. This outbuilding has an arcade of openings in a similar style, one of which has been altered, some are blank.

Recent 20th-century alterations to the extreme left include the insertion of metal casements and raising of battlements to form Gate Cottage. Attached to the rear of No. 2, Castle House, is a single-storey rubble outbuilding with Baroque gables. Internally, No. 2 is stated to contain an early staircase while No. 1 has some window shutters.
