Description

The former outbuilding to the rear of the Punchbowl Inn is a two to three-storey structure built of stone rubble, featuring dressed stone quoins and a slate roof with overhanging eaves. The east elevation, which faces the inn, is two storeys high with a ground floor made of ashlar and a band at the first floor level. It includes a semi-circular lunette on the first floor and a wide vehicular arch on the ground floor. The north and west sides of the building rise to three storeys due to the sloping ground and have irregularly canted walls. The narrow northern wall features loft doors with brick dressings on the first and second floors, and an iron crane near the upper door. The north-west wall has a window opening with a stone head and brick dressings on each floor. The west wall also has loft doors with brick dressings, while the south wall is rendered and blank. Most windows are covered, but where visible, they have small-pane wooden glazing.
