History

Probably built in the C18, with integral rear wing. Formerly the Ship Inn. Facade detail characteristic of the later C19.

Exterior

A Georgian 3-storey 2-window house and tea rooms, of pebble-dashed front, smooth-rendered rusticated quoins to the R, 1st and 2nd-floor sill bands, and eared architraves. The roof is slate, with central brick stack. The entrance is on the R side, a replacement mid C20 door under an earlier overlight, in an architrave with simple pediment. Windows are 4-pane horned sashes in the lower storey, also under simple pediments. The 1st floor has similar sashes and the 2nd floor replacement 4-pane windows, incorporating hopper lights, in original openings.
The rear has a 1-storey flat-roof projection on the R side. On the L side is a gabled rubble-stone rear wing with large external stack.

Interior

The ground floor is divided into 2 units by back-to-back fireplaces with altered detail. In the rear wing is a cross beam with run-out stops. The stair is at the end of an entrance corridor, through a wooden arch. A dog-leg stair, it has a closed string to the lower flight, but the upper flight retains turned balusters and square newel. Slate steps lead down to a brick vaulted cellar in the main range.
