Location

Exterior
Inn, painted stucco with steep-pitched slate roof and very large rubble-stone external chimney breast and square stack at left end. Red brick right end stack. Two storey, three-window range of C19 4-pane sashes, the lower ones longer, and centre door with head lower than the adjoining windows. Slate sills.
Dwarf front walll and railings mostly removed (2005).

Reason for designation
