Period
History
C17 farm building, set in sloping site. The Inn is C17, with a slightly later cross-wing: converted to a public house in later C19 to serve growing local industrial population.
Exterior
Whitewashed rubble construction; corrugated iron roof. Three-bay stable range stepped up to upper end; square boarded windows flanking central door. Opposing door to rear has been blocked. Barn with slightly steeper roof to lower end: rough masonry break suggests that the barn is not contemporary with the stables, but both are bonded to the rear - the break may then indicate early repairs. Central doorways to loft and ground floor; loop ventilators, also to rear. Uphill gable has narrow blocked window with stone dripmould.
Interior
Both parts have modern lofts.
Reason for designation
Group value with the Fountain Inn.
