Description
The Old House Inn is a public house built from rubble stone, with the front whitewashed and topped with a thatched straw roof. It has two storeys and rubble end stacks. The entrance features a lean-to lobby in front of the original bay, with a door located beside the original spiral stair next to the axial stack. The building has modern timber casement windows. An added eastern range has a lower slate roof, window architraves, and a modern lean-to. The rear of the building is now hidden by recent additions.
Inside, the original bay includes a large gable fireplace with a bread oven and a deep timber lintel. There is a massive central chamfered cross beam with fillet and scoop stops, along with secondary cross beams at the ends that support closely spaced square section joists. The winding stair has been removed. A square-headed opening in the stone wall opposite the fireplace leads to the early 18th-century parlour-dairy, which is now used as a dining room and features more widely spaced rough sawn axial ceiling joists. The roof structure is not accessible.
