Description
This is a detached former smithy range located near The White Hart, dating back to the 16th century. The building stands two storeys high and features a partial survival of the original square panel timber frame, with later brick nogging on the south front. The walls are made of rubble, and the east gable is weatherboarded. It has stone tile roofs, with a projecting rubble stack on the west gable and a rubble eaves stack on the north wall. The building has modern doors and windows, including a continuous row of first-floor casements facing south. In the south-west corner, there is a small single-storey rubble block that was formerly a shop.
Adjacent to the main structure is a detached rubble and slate block with brick dressings, which used to serve as the smithy and stable for the inn. Inside, the forge, bellows, and cooling trough remain in their original positions. The building contains some 16th-century wall framing, including chamfered door frames with mason's mitres and an original central truss. The west room features a range, a bread oven, and what is possibly a stew-warmer, which is a large stone block with two fire holes for pans. On the upper floor, there is a large room with an external entrance and an oven hob grate.
