The Star Inn

The Star Inn is a largely 18th-century public house. It is a two-storey building with a two-window front elevation and a rear wing. The front is roughcast on a plinth and topped with a slate roof, featuring a renewed brick ridge stack. A shallow, open-fronted gabled wooden porch with chevron boarding to the gable, moulded bargeboards and a finial, contains double-panelled doors accessed by a single stone step. To the left of the entrance is a 19th-century wooden window surround with panelled pilasters, decorative scrolled brackets supporting a moulded cornice, and a three-light wooden window with a central top-hung pane. To the right of the entrance is a large 20th-century three-light wooden window. The upper storey has three-light wooden casements, that to the left slightly offset. A mounting block consisting of two stone steps is located against the far right of the front of the building. The west gable end is heavily battered and includes double boarded doors to the right and a top-hung light to the upper storey.

A lower, two-storey, two-unit rear wing adjoins the main building to the right; its offset suggests the right-hand unit was added later. A stone ridge stack, likely originally belonging to a 17th-century unit, and a brick end stack to the south are present. Irregular wooden windows are found on the rear wing, with two on the ground floor and three on the upper floor; those to the right have segmental heads. A single-storey lean-to extends from the south end of the wing.

The lobby entrance leads to rooms on both the left and right sides. The building contains back-to-back fireplaces, rebuilt in stone with small grates. The ceilings are largely altered, with some cross- and spine-beams likely re-set from elsewhere, along with plain joists. A rear room to the right, now containing a bar, retains its original ceiling, featuring a medium-chamfered spine-beam and chamfered joists with run-out stops. It also has a large stone fireplace with an original timber lintel.
