Description
The building is a second-half 17th century inn, which has been altered and extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a lobby-entry plan and is L-shaped, featuring a cross-wing to the right. The roof is medium-pitched and covered with slate, with plain eaves. There is a central brick chimney stack, along with modern chimneys on the cross-wing and the rear of the main block. The front is asymmetrical and rendered, with stucco quoins and a moulded stucco string-course.
A centrally-placed early 20th century single-storey porch has a gabled tiled roof. The entrance features a rusticated arched surround with moulded abaci and a keystone. To the right, there is a contemporary mono-pitched, tile-roofed addition that links with the projecting cross-wing. The building has a flush, 18-pane tripartite window and a similar window on the ground floor of the cross-gable. To the left of the porch, there is a flush 18-pane fixed window and a similar sliding window above. A 12-pane sliding casement window is located on the first floor to the right. The cross-wing gable has decorative timber framing added in the 20th century.
At the rear, there is a late 18th century two-storey brick stable block beneath a continuous shallow-pitched slate roof with dentilated eaves. It features four entrances of varying sizes, two of which have cambered heads, and three with contemporary wooden doors. The upper floor has small shuttered windows. There is a modern garage door to the left and a modern glazed extension where it connects with the main building.
Inside, there is a large inglenook fireplace with a wide, depressed-arched wooden bressumer that has a plain chamfer in the main room. The ceiling is framed in two ways, with some original beams that are plain stopped and chamfered, and one supporting beam that has simple moulded stops typical of the late 17th century.
