Exterior

Late C17 or C18 inn with second quarter C19 and later additions and alterations; L-plan originally, extended to W and E. Of whitened rubble with slate roofs; plain rendered end chimneys to main (front) range with further end chimney to extended bay to W.

Splayed reveals with plank seats to front-facing windows. Large inglenook fireplace to R with flat, chamfered bressummer and a further, smaller fireplace to L gable end with hewn oak lintel. 2-bay rear range with rough pegged collar truss.
