Description
The Coach Inn is a two-storey building constructed of stone rubble, partly roughcasted and whitewashed, with slate roofs featuring rooflights at the rear and wide boarded eaves. It has rendered chimney stacks and is characterized by a prominent wide-spreading gable facing the road, which has deep eaves supported by purlin brackets and a hipped apex for a central stack.
The central block is symmetrical with three windows, featuring 12 and 16-pane sash windows, and a casement window in the attic. The entrance has a gabled porch supported by paired timber columns and pilasters, leading to a six-panel door with an overlight. A first-floor sill band extends around the one-window return elevation to the right and across the 1912 wing, which has two and three plus one windows. This wing features horned sash glazing, a hooded entrance at the angle, and three tripartite windows on the ground floor, along with two half-hipped gables with chimneys above.
To the left of the central block, there is a lean-to that extends back to a low two-storey L-plan wing with a two-window in-line elevation, 12-pane sashes on the first floor, and a tall chimney on the left. A three-bay former stable structure is set forward to the left, which has been converted with infill of the cambered arch ground floor openings, retaining the impost and small-pane sliding sash windows above. In front of this stable structure is a modern frontage to a five-bay service range running north, featuring multipane metal-frame windows, which forms a lean-to against the side of the cross range of the stable block.
At the northern end, the building has a narrow U-shaped yard formed by this cross range and a parallel single-storey rubble range, which includes further small-pane sliding sash windows and massive stone lintels. The rear of the building displays a variety of window types, including three gables on the 1912 wing.
Inside, the staircase in the early range features shaped tread ends with turned balusters, and there is a fireplace bressumer and beamed ceiling in the bar area. The building has undergone modern alterations.
