Brigands Inn

Brigands Inn is a building that has been rendered and painted white, topped with slate roofs. The northern northwest elevation, which includes the older section, was originally two storeys with attics but was later raised to three storeys. This elevation features four bays, with the entrance located in the second bay, accessed through a slated porch that has rounded front corners and a conical roof, likely dating from the 17th century. The building has 16-paned sash windows with black painted surrounds and a platband between the first and second floors. The first floor has 16-pane sashes, except in the third bay, while the attic floor has pivoted 6-pane casements directly below the boxed eaves. There are gable end stacks with stone drips and a door in the fourth bay on the right.

The building has been extended to the east with a lower one-bay service building that features an outshut on the front, leading to a square tower with a pyramidal slate roof, which may have once served as a dovecote. The west-facing elevation is approximately symmetrical, featuring forward projecting gabled wings, one of which is the gabled return of the earlier range. The main entrance to the hotel is through a central gabled porch, with 16-paned sash windows on either side on the lower two floors (one window on the left side of the first floor has been replaced) and 12-pane single sash windows on the top floor, two of which have also been replaced. The right-hand wing originally had a tripartite sash window on the ground floor, which has been replaced with a modern French window, and a 12-pane sash window above.

Much of the interior has undergone alterations, but the central bay of the earlier wing features extended ogee chamfer stops on three cross beams and an angle fireplace on the rear wall. In this room, there is a fully framed partition to the west bay made of sturdy timbers in a post and panel style, leading to the stair in the west bay that climbs over the angled fireplace. Some 17th-century panelling can be found on the stair. The uniquely shaped porch, which lacks dateable features, may also date from the 17th century, opens into the lower end of this central bay. On the first floor, principal rafters from the earlier roof are visible on the centre-west bay truss.
