Details Old Star Inn, now in residential use. It is now a large two-storey L-plan structure, partially dating from the later 18th century. The north-east gable skewputt is dated 1727 and the north-west skewputt is incised with faint and indecipherable initials, probably those of the builder. It comprises a three-storey with dormerless attic, 8-bay street frontage and later 18th century tall two-storey and dormerless attic rear wing over a raised basement. The building is harled with tooled ashlar margins and dressings, and has flat skews with shaped and run-off skewputts, masonry end stacks with renewed copes, and a steeply pitched slate roofs with a sandstone ridge. The earlier part of the building is noteworthy for its pend, chamfered dressings and railed forestair.
