II

Inn, now public house. Early C19, C20 additions and modifications. Rendered, some slatehanging, slate roof. The main range, facing the old road and backing on the river, is near symmetrical, with a pavilion projecting forward at the left (N); the back, extensively damaged in the 1952 flood, includes a steel structure, and has an extra storey at the lower level, resulting from the steep slope across the site. 2 storeys, attic and basement; 1+4-window range. 2-light cast-iron casements with mullion, and diamond panes, in 4-centred heads with drip-courses to corbel stops. To the left the set-forward pavilion has a central gable over a lancet above a wide opening with 4-centred head and 4-light casement with cast-iron detail with panel below, probably replacing a former carriage opening; on the return to the right is a 2-light casement. The principal range has 2 small gabled dormers with 2-light casements set high on the roof slope, with a wide open central gable over a 2-light. At first floor are 1:1:2 two-light casements, above two 2-light, with a third window modified as a door; under the central gable is a wide 4-centred opening with a pair of panelled doors with side panels and overlights with diamond panes. There are square pilasters at the ends and to the centre unit, here slightly stepped forward, and with a continuous eaves mould under a deep projecting soffit. Decorative scalloped barge-boards, including the dormers. The drip-course to the window in the gable is carried round and down to the cill, under which is an elliptical name-board with moulded edge. Each gable has a slate-hung stack, including a slate-covered capping. To the right of the main range is a painted rubble screen wall, stepped at its outer end, with a wide 4-centred opening over a window and door. The right gable is slate-hung, with scalloped barge-board, with a glazed porch/conservatory at first-floor level giving to a flat-roofed extension, which is carried on steel stanchions over an open service area. The left return includes a keyhole-shaped light with opening diagonally set casement above a broad 4-centred opening with double doors and a small light, and to the left, in a flat-roofed section are three 2-light casements as to the main front, but without drip-courses. The river front includes a wide flat-roofed dormer with 4 windows to the rear slope of the main range, and extensive flat-roofed additions with large multi-pane steel casements at two levels, above a partly open basement area. INTERIOR: partly inspected, has been much modified. At the basement level are some thick rubble walls and an arched opening with early plank doors, possibly remnants of an earlier building on the site, and in one area is a ship's mast used as a spine beam. Because of a slight realignment in the road, with a consequent raising of its level, the building lies below the modern road, with its upper floor only visible. The front remains as a good example of the Picturesque cottage ornee style, with diamond-paned cast-iron windows characteristic of this area in the early C19; they were reputedly taken from the original Combe Park Hotel (qv).
