The Castle Inn and Townend House
With their long, low forms and informally arranged casement windows, these are perhaps the most rural-looking houses in the village, having a vernacular style that is essentially farmhouse in character. Their sturdy stacks, uncluttered slate roofs, the porches on the former and the veranda on the latter, are their more distinctive features.
Ordnance Survey, 2016, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359352.
Townend House is depicted on the modern mapping which shows the outbuilding end of the property no longer exists.
