Description
The Plough Inn is a two-storey inn built from whitewashed rubble stone, topped with a slate close-eaved roof and featuring roughcast end stacks, the one on the right being larger. The front has a three-window range with camber-headed horned sashes that include marginal glazing bars. In the center, there is a flat-headed door with an overlight. The first-floor openings are framed with stone voussoirs, while the ground floor openings have brick, as the windows were lengthened in the early 20th century.
At the rear, there is a two-storey wing with various small 20th-century extensions. Attached to the right is a lower outbuilding that has a stone stack on the roof slope to the right. The outbuilding features a former cart-entry on the ground floor at the extreme left, with a small window above it under the eaves. The cart-entry has a timber lintel and an inserted door and window. There is also a square window with stone voussoirs above the center, which was originally a door. The north end wall is angled to align with the road and has a large 20th-century window in the former cart-entry to the right, along with a loft window in the gable. The rear of the building has stone outside steps leading to a loft door. The property has not been inspected.
