Black Boy Inn

The Black Boy Inn is a 2½-storey inn constructed with whitened render over rubble stone, topped with a slate roof that is hipped at the left end. It features brick stacks located to the left of center and at the right end. The main section of the building has seven windows, and to its left is a two-window gabled wing that aligns with the main range, all of which have had their windows renewed in earlier openings. The main range includes a central doorway with a boarded door that has false strap hinges and an overlight, all beneath a bracketed and gabled hood. This doorway is flanked by three windows on the lower storey, while the upper storey has two windows on each side that align with the outer lower-storey windows, plus an additional window above the doorway. To the left of center, there is a wide hipped roof-dormer featuring three 2-light casements. The doorway in the left-hand wing also has a gabled slate-covered hood on brackets and a boarded door with false strap hinges, while its attic window has been enlarged.

The rear of the building, made of rubble stone, has three gabled wings. The right-hand wing is set back and has a roughcast wall, while the left-hand wing projects forward. The windows on this side have been enlarged, although the central gable retains two wooden lintels in the upper and attic storeys. A wing added in the 20th century is set back against the right gable end.

Inside, the main doorway leads into an original through passage that features a round-headed niche on the right-hand side. Beyond this is a 17th-century round-headed doorway that has been reduced in size. The main range exhibits details from the late 17th century, including cross-beams with run-out stops in the lower storey. A fireplace in the right-hand room has a timber lintel. There is a 19th-century open-well staircase with plain balusters and square newels located in the central rear wing. The middle storey has plainer ceiling beams, and the original right-hand rooms in both the middle and attic storeys contain fireplaces with wooden lintels. Collar-beam roof trusses are preserved in both the main range and the rear wings.
