Description

The Central Public House is a Grade II listed building featuring rock-faced, roughly coursed and squared stone with gold sandstone dressings, topped by steep slate roofs with red tiled cresting and brick chimneys, some of which are truncated. The building showcases Gothic asymmetry and is situated on a steeply sloping corner site. It has two storeys with attics.

On the Conway Road side, the building has a five-window range and a continuous public house front at the ground floor, with a doorway located at the angled corner. The upper windows are primarily paired sashes with engaged shafts acting as a central mullion and flat stone heads. There is also a canted oriel window towards the left, which is mullioned and transomed, breaking the eaves line and featuring its own canted hipped gabled roof. The dormer gables have small paned sashes.

The Station Road elevation is irregularly massed, with a recessed central section that has a blocked doorway with a shouldered lintel (now a window) on the first floor. To the left, there are small-paned sash windows, and to the right, a hipped roofed dormer window also breaks the eaves line. The higher block to the right has an entrance on the left, with a single sash window above it and paired sashes beneath a hipped dormer. There is a full-height canted bay window with a canted hipped roof. The eaves throughout have a strong overhang and are supported by brackets over the dormers.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 63% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
