What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey RIC barracks, built c.1815, having recent two-bay two-storey addition to rear. Now in use as public house. Hipped slate roof having ceramic ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Exposed coursed rubble limestone walls. Flat-arch openings to front elevation, having cut-stone voussoirs and sills. Narrow slit windows to side elevations. Replacement timber windows and doors.

A stone building of very solid construction, this building was originally built as an RIC barracks. Although extended and with original features such as windows and render removed, the form and proportions of the original building can be clearly discerned.
