The Old Barracks

Attached seven-bay two-storey former barracks, built c. 1750, altered and now in use as pair of semi-detached houses. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings to front (north) elevation with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash and replacement uPVC windows. Venetian window opening to central bay of first floor with concrete sill and replacement uPVC window. Square-headed opening to front forming pair of entrances. East entrance having timber glazed door, sidelight and overlight. West entrance having timber panelled door and sidelights and overlight. Site bounded by rendered walls with limestone copings. Cut limestone steps to entrances.

Wide symmetrical facade with central Venetian window adds interest to former barracks. Historically an important focal point in the village. Despite later alterations, symmetrical and elegant proportions and fine cut stone steps ensure it remains a notable feature on streetscape.
