Description
The Kingsdon Inn is an early 19th-century inn located on Lower Road in Kingsdon. It is constructed from Lias stone, mostly rendered, and features a triple roll clay tiled roof with a coped southeast gable. The building has two storeys and three bays. The ground floor has sash windows with 12 panes, each featuring dovetailed stone lintels. On the upper floor, there are 2-light small-pane casement windows of an earlier design, with no window in the upper bay of the third section. Between the first and second bays, there is a plain doorway with a 20th-century part-glazed door and a signboard above. A hanging sign is located on the southeast gable. At the rear, there is an extension with a thatched roof and a stepped coped northeast gable, which includes two bays of small-pane casements and a 20th-century part-glazed door. The inn was first mentioned in 1897.
