Description
The Plough Inn Public House is an L-shaped building with a longer section facing Market Street and a shorter section facing Brecon Road. The structure features a combination of partly timber-framed elements, which are generally rendered over, though some 19th-century framing is visible at the rear of the Brecon Road wing. The building also includes local rubble stone and some brown-yellow brick dressings.
The shallow-pitched slate roof is hipped to the right and has an overhang at the left gable end. The rendered chimneystacks include one on the left side of the Market Street front, which has two diagonally set square extensions. The Market Street facade has pilaster strips at both ends and rises three storeys high. It is four windows wide but not symmetrical, with windows arranged symmetrically around the right door, followed by a wider space to the left before the windows continue, including a door to a private entrance. The small pane hornless sash windows consist of 9 panes on the second floor and 12 panes on the first and ground floors, although the window to the left of the public entrance features a later three-light window for the bar. The windows are flush with the walls and have painted surrounds on the first and second floors, while the ground floor windows are set deeper without surrounds, reflecting the thick walls.
The Brecon Road facade shows a clear vertical joint in the masonry, indicating that it was formerly two separate premises. At the lower left, there is a low delivery door to the cellar, which has painted brick dressings, and to its right is a cellar window, now blocked with red bricks, that features rubble voussoirs. The second floor has three small-paned sash windows with 9 panes and hornless designs, while the first and ground floors have 12-paned horned windows, all flush set with brick dressings. To the left of the masonry joint, there is a door beneath a cambered stone arch, followed by three sash windows that are set deeper than those to the left, all featuring rubble voussoirs. At the angle of the building, there is a recess that is said to have once held a pier of a former tollgate.
At the rear of the Market Street block, the first and second floor windows are of the same period as those at the front. The ground floor has modern single-storey extensions, while the rear of the Brecon Road block incorporates thin 19th-century timber framing with brick infill.
