Description
Small late C19 or early C20 pump house located on the eastern edge of the village. Set slightly back
from the road behind hedging, only the southern gable of the building is visible from the public
domain and forms an attractive focus to views looking eastwards from the churchyard. Constructed
of stone the building is single storey and sits beneath a parapet gable roof, laid in slate, the
ridgeline of which runs parallel with the carriageway. The stone mullion window within the visible
gable contains metal windows. Quite austere in character, this building is significant because it is an
interesting example of an attractive public utility building. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1)
