Allanton Inn, Main Street, Allanton

The Allanton Inn, located on Main Street in Allanton, was built in 1835 with later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey, six-bay building constructed from whinstone rubble with droved ashlar dressings, and the rear is harled.

On the west elevation facing the street, the building features a grouped arrangement of two and four bays. In the right bay of the two-bay group, there is a corniced deep-set panelled door, with a window above it on the first floor and another window to each floor of the bay on the left. The four-bay group has a similar deep-set panelled corniced door in the inner left bay, with a window above on the first floor. The outer left bay contains a bipartite window with an ashlar mullion at each floor, while the inner right bay has a window on each floor. The outer right bay features a boarded door at ground level.

The east elevation at the rear includes a full-height half-piended projection in the right bay of the two-bay group and in the inner bays of the four-bay group. There is a single-storey modern addition at ground level in the intermediate bays, along with a full-height modern lean-to addition at the southeast re-entrant angle.

The west elevation has plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the east elevation primarily features modern glazing. The roof is covered with slate and has ashlar coped skews that define the two and four bay groups, along with brick gablehead stacks and a mutual stack. The interior was not seen in 1996.
