History
The building was constructed in the late 18th century, according to its official listing.[1] The 1893 and 1945 Ordnance Survey maps mark the building as an inn, although no name is shown.[2][3]
On 3 July 1986, the Hare and Hounds was designated a Grade II listed building.[1] As of 2023[update], the pub is owned by Punch Taverns.[4]
Architecture
The building is constructed of dressed stone and has a roof of stone slates laid in graded courses.[1] It has three storeys, three bays, and a plan that extends back from the frontage.[1] The main entrance sits in the centre, with 19th‑century stone‑framed windows on either side.[1] The upper floors each have three windows: two wider ones and a narrower one in the middle.[1] There are shaped brackets at the eaves, corner stones at the edges, and chimneys on the gable ends.[1] Some openings in the gable have been filled in, including a former loading doorway.[1] The rear elevation has windows of a similar style, though part of it is hidden by a later single‑storey brick addition with a flat roof.[1]
