Description
Chepstow House is a former inn that has been converted into a house, built around 1830. The structure is made of local stone that is cut and squared, with ashlar dressings and is all colourwashed. It features a hipped roof made of Welsh slate with wide eaves overhangs and has brick chimney stacks. The building has a 'T'-plan and consists of two storeys, with each facet being one bay wide. Most of the windows are 12-pane sash windows set in toothed ashlar surrounds. There is a double entrance door on the northeast side that has a chamfer and a carved head on a plaque above it, along with a 20th-century entrance door located on the right side of the northeast bay. To the west of the house, there is a lean-to building that has an elliptical archway, which is now blocked and features an angled door and window. The interior has not been seen. This corner building is in an important position and was formerly known as the Queen's Head Inn, which is documented to have been built between 1823 and 1838, before being converted into a private house around 1960.
