History

Probably built as an inn c1820, associated with the construction of the Holyhead Road turnpike, and remodelled c1870.

Exterior

The original building is painted roughly coursed rubble, with slate roof with axial and end wall stacks. 3 storeys, 3-window range with central entrance. 4-panelled door with overlight in canopied porch, flanked by 3-light mullioned and transomed windows to ground floor, and 2-light casement windows above, all renewed in original openings with flat timber lintels. A low extension of c1870 is built at an angle to the right, on an alignment which was determined by earlier buildings (perhaps stables) on the site: it has hipped roofed porch to the left, and 3-light mullioned and transomed window to the right, with 2 wide gabled dormers above. There is also an extension to the rear of the original building probably added at about the same time. This comprised 3 gables, with oriel windows (4-pane sashes with stained glass upper margin lights) at first floor level, the lower openings largely renewed.

Reasons for Listing

Of historical interest as a building associated with the turnpike road, and a typical example of a vernacular coaching inn of the period.
