Public house, now 2 attached houses. Possible late C17 core to The Old Ship with early C18 refronting; Windmill Cottage is early C18 with early C19 alteration and refenestration. Coursed squared rubble, formerly rendered, with stone dressings to windows, ashlar copings; Roman tile roofs with end gable brick stacks to roadside ranges and pantile roof with end ashlar stack to rear range. PLAN: possible C17 range to rear of The Old Ship with later addition facing road which may have been refronted mid C18; further,lower southern extension which is now Windmill Cottage. Both ranges have double-depth plans. EXTERIOR: 2-storey; 5-window range to The Old Ship, 2-storey; 2-window range to Windmill Cottage. Symmetrical east front to The Old Ship with central doorway, ground and first-floor continuous strings and defaced datestone above centre first-floor window. All windows are 12-pane sashes in edge-moulded stone architraves. Plain architrave to doorway with flat stone hood on brackets; part-glazed panelled door. Both return walls have a 2-light chamfered mullion window to upper floor. Windmill Cottage has bow to right with early C19 tripartite windows in flush limestone surrounds with central 12-pane sashes to both floors. The bow is tied to The Old Ship by the continuation of the string course above ground-floor windows. Round-arched doorway to left with steps up, late C20 panelled door and semicircular fanlight; small late C20 3/6 sash window under cambered head either side of doorway; early C19 12-pane sash with thin glazing bars to first floor. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: the inn was used as a staging post on the turnpike road between Bath and Bristol. FURTHER INFORMATION: the height above the first-floor windows and the presence of mullion windows at this level on return walls of The Old Ship suggests a refronting.
