Description
The Sun Inn is a building made of rendered and whitewashed rubble stone, topped with an old slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features two bays. Inside, a staircase rises from a lobby located behind the central front door, which is framed and boarded with a glazed light. The first floor has paned two-light casement windows, while the ground floor has earlier openings that were replaced by paned bow windows. There is a large external gable stack at the south end and another gable stack at the north end. A porch was added in 1944, and a mounting block to its right, which was close to the road, was removed between 1945 and 1950. There are modern extensions at the rear of the building.
Inside, the central stair is partitioned from the kitchen/living area at the south, which features a large inglenook with a good iron range and a cambered fire lintel with markings. The parlour end has dado panelling that obscures the fireplace, and there are simple cross ceiling beams throughout.
