May 1986. Grade II listed. An 18th century timber framed and weatherboarded house, now a public house, which was altered in the 19th century. The roof is covered with handmade red clay tiles and slates. The two-storey main range comprises three bays facing West, and there is a one-bay extension to the left with a gambrel roof, of one storey with attic. There is a mid 19th century two-storey wing extending forwards from the junction. To the rear of the main range and in the left front angle are 20th century flat-roofed single storey extensions. The main frontage has a mix of 19th and 20th century windows. There is a stone slab floor in the bar to the left of the entrance. The property is shown as 'Ferry Farm', with 50 acres, in the Tithe award of 1840, and as the 'Ferry Boat Public House' in the Ordnance Survey map of 1873, by which date it had largely achieved its present form. <1> See photos <2>.
