Cadw's description
Location
Prominently sited set back on the W side of the road approximately 1km SW of Bronington church.
History
An early C19 public house shown on the 1839 Tithe map and 1873 Ordnance Survey. Now a farmhouse.
Exterior
A 2-storey 3-window brick farmhouse with renewed slate roof and 3 brick stacks. The asymmetrical front is divided into a single-fronted unit on the L side and double-fronted unit occupying the centre and R. Windows are 3-light casements with sills, probably replacements in original openings, under segmental heads in the lower storey and beneath the eaves in the upper storey. The central window is slightly offset to the L of centre, and to its R is the offset entrance to the larger unit. This and the entrance to the L-hand unit both have boarded doors under gabled canopies.
A narrower and lower parallel rear wing has replacement windows.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as a prominent former roadside public house retaining definite C19 character, forming a strong group with the stable and coach house.
